Godfrey Sapula pleased with Sundowns Ladies squad depth

Sundowns secured a convincing 4-1 victory over Costa do Sol in their final group-stage match at Gaborone United Stadium on Tuesday.

Speaking at the post match presser, Sapula says he is grateful to have the luxury of a strong squad, allowing him to rotate players without compromising the team’s performance.

"We give credit to the preparations, we knew that when we had players going to the WAFCON we had to prepare very well with the other players so that when we need to refresh the team, we have players that are also ready as what happened today with the new fresh starting 11 but the team was still strong. We were able to play strong and get maximum points," Sapula said.

Sundowns scored a total of 15 goals across their three group-stage matches to finish with a perfect record. Sapula credited the team’s unity and willingness to play for one another for their impressive winning momentum.

"It talks about the true spirit, unity, players really fighting for each other. The spirit is really good and for us, I mean the first objective obviously achieved which is to win all the three games in the group to move to the next stage,” the coach added. 

“We treat this with humility and we are gonna keep our feet on the ground to make sure that we still prepare for the semi-final because it's just one part achieved. We must still focus on making sure that we play a very good semi-final to give ourselves a chance. “So, we are really humbled but as I said we are gonna put our feet on the ground and make sure that we do our analysis and prepare as best as possible."
