Khanye questions Sundowns' style of play

Khanye questioned Mamelodi Sundown's style of play during their clash with AS FAR during an interview on iDiskiTV.

The former South African international believes the Brazilians' style of play could be better, and they need to improve if they want to progress from their group

“They never showed up, I need to be honest,” Khanye said during the interview.
“Many of the Sundowns players I don’t think they were themselves I’m talking about the team’s overall performance and individuals as well.
“Let’s start with their front three they never even combined in the middle playing too far from one another. They couldn’t combine with the guys playing in the centre. So, very bad the way Sundowns plays."

Sundowns still retain their first place in the PSL, but their run in the CAF Champions League group stage has not be good enough.
