Alje Schut yesterday gave a positive spin to Mamelodi Sundowns' worrisome slender lead over TP Mazembe ahead of their CAF Champions League first round clash in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo, on Sunday. The Downs skipper said the team had ignored talk of the 1-0 win in the first leg at Loftus Stadium not being enough to give them an edge, especially away, and in front of Mazembe's hostile crowd."To be honest, I am not too concerned. I would rather take a 1-0 lead than a goalless draw," the defender said yesterday."What I am concerned about is factors that we can't control. We hope for a fair game, and I think you know what I mean by that. If it is a fair game, then we have a chance. I expect a different game over there because they are at home and they have to score."Sundowns talisman Khama Billiat scored the winning goal in the 85th minute of the match three weeks ago, but the Brazilians were criticised for failing to use their numerical advantage after Mazembe went a man down in the first half when Chango Kabaso was given his marching orders.Schut argued that their display on the night proved they were good enough to eliminate the four-time champions from Africa's premium club competition."Even before the red card we were dominant. I don't think they expected a team like us. They came with a certain type of game plan and hoped to get a result knowing that they are very strong at home."I think they wanted to keep it tight, but we dominated that game completely. It was a clash of two countries. We played our typical South African game, which is to attack and get forward with a lot of excitement. They were a little bit more patient and usually rely on their individual brilliance, especially away from home."The Downs captain, who has confirmed he will be leaving the club to return to the Netherlands at the end of the season, said he was eager to see the Premier League champions stay on in the competition."You always want to play the big games and we've already been involved in them in the first round. This is the game you want to play and the excitement from the players is evident."..
