The day on the racetrack allowed the Chiefs squad to unwind and release any tension, setting the tone for their preparations ahead of the high-stakes encounter against the defending champions.

Looking Ahead to Sundowns' Challenge

This time around, Nabi is hopeful that his team will be in be⁹tter shape to compete against a side many consider the best in Africa.

Sundowns' Strengths and Chiefs' Resolve

Despite Sundowns' superior form, Nabi remains optimistic. He noted that Sundowns’ new coach has introduced a different philosophy, improving the team's balance and efficiency.
