Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies head coach Jerry Tshabalala has revealed the secret behind their goalscoring form in the CAF Women’s Champions League currently underway in Morocco. 

‘Kappa’, as he is popularly known, commended the club’s analysts for a job well done.

The analysts are providing Tshabalala’s troops with details that are yielding fruitful results. 

The red-hot Brazilians became the first-ever team to bang five goals in a single game at the Women’s Champions League when they humiliated Egypt’s Wadi Degla 5-0 in their second match of the Group B on Thursday night. 

Goals from Lelona Daweti, Melinda Kgadiete, Bambanani Mbane and a brace from Boitumelo Rabale kept Sundowns’ hopes of defending their continental title alive.
