Sundowns Coach Worried About Star Player’s Slow Start

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi has expressed concern over Tashreeq Matthews’ performance in the team’s recent MTN8 matches. Matthews struggled to find his rhythm in the first leg of the semi-final against Stellenbosch FC, and was eventually substituted in the second half. While Mngqithi acknowledged the team’s overall errors, he highlighted Matthews’ slow start to the season, mentioning his lack of impact in the final third. Matthews’ defensive play and counter-pressing were praised, but Mngqithi emphasized the need for him to seize opportunities and contribute more offensively.
