Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso praised his side’s mentality and performance after they secured an impressive 3-2 victory over Golden Arrows.

The Brazilians advanced to the MTN8 final after they secured a 3-3 aggregate win on away goals against Arrows at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium in Durban.

Sundowns will now prepare to face off against Orlando Pirates in what is expected to be a mouth-watering final.

The Portuguese coach highlighted the team’s positive mindset, patience in possession and ability to capitalise on key moments.

“It’s not easy here to win 4-2, today we made a fantastic, beautiful result,” Cardoso told SuperSport TV after the game.

“Four goals scored so fantastic, fantastic anyway we know what we had to do – the first goal will be very emotional positive, we knew that we had to circulate a lot the ball until we find the way there and from there the drop in energy on Arrows will happen.

“Also, we knew the second goal would kill the game but make it very difficult than the away goals will not be on our other side and we worked on that of course.”
