Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies return to action this weekend in a crucial Hollywoodbets Super League clash against First Touch FC Ladies. Banyana Ba Style will be looking to build on their strong momentum following a convincing 2–0 win over the University of Fort Hare last time out.
The Brazilians head into this encounter in impressive form, with 14 victories and two draws from their 18 matches played so far this season. Their most recent performance showcased a perfect balance of attacking sharpness and defensive stability, attributes that will once again be vital against a competitive First Touch outfit.
Goalkeeper Sedilame Boseja believes that the team’s morale has been lifted by their most recent performance, but insists that the players remain grounded and focused.
“The mood in the squad is very positive after the victory over the University of Fort Hare. The players showed great discipline and character throughout the match, which is something we take pride in. That performance gave us confidence going forward, but at the same time, we know it was just one step in a long journey. Every game in this league presents new challenges, and as a team, we remain focused on improving with each performance.”
Looking ahead to Sunday’s game, Boseja highlighted the importance of maintaining the team’s trademark consistency.
“First Touch is a strong side, and we respect the qualities they bring, but our main focus is on executing our own game plan. Training has been centered on maintaining consistency in our performances, staying organized and sharp defensively, and being more clinical when opportunities present themselves. For us, the key is to approach this match with the same intensity and concentration that we displayed against Fort Hare, without ever underestimating the opposition.”
Midfielder Noxolo Cesane also shared her perspective, underlining the determination within the camp to deliver a strong result.
“The mood in camp is very tense, but also confident enough that we will do the work the coach is preparing us for. The plan is to make sure we win the game against First Touch FC. Everyone is focused on sticking to the game plan, giving maximum effort, and ensuring that we continue to build momentum as the season progresses.”
The game between Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies and First Touch FC Ladies will be played at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday, 21 September, with kickoff set for 15h00.
