While their Hasaacas Ladies ousted Morocco’s ASFAR with a scoreline of 2-1 in the semis.
“It’s a big game. We wanted to be here, and we did it. We saw their strengths and their weaknesses, so we have prepared well,” said Sundown coach Tshabalala.
He further added: “They are strong, tall, and very physical and we can only overcome them if we play our speedy players because we have seen that their defence is a bit slow.”
