Mamelodi Sundowns assistant coach Steve Komphela has issued a stern warning to the squad ahead of the second leg of their CAF Champions League final against Pyramids FC.
Sundowns have what is considered a mountain to climb against Pyramids at 30 June Stadium on Sunday, needing to find the net in a high-scoring draw or win.
This, after conceding in the dying minutes for a 1-1 draw at Loftus Versfeld Stadium last weekend.

The Egyptians will be intent on protecting their precious away goal, while they are also known to have a dangerous attacking line led by Fiston Mayele.
Playing into the Tshwane giants' advantage, however, is the experience they have over their opponents in this competition, who are unlikely to fill the venue.
Komphela has warned against holding back.
“It could be the other way around if we look at it that way, when you go there thinking that no, there’s something less," Komphela told journalists at the unveiling of Carling Black Label as the club's sponsor on Tuesday.
"And when you go into a battle with your intentions not as high, thinking that there’s less risk, you’re going to get hurt.
"We should never look into that. They’re a good team, and nobody can be in the Champions League if they are not good enough.

"So, we’re not going to look into that. That’s very dangerous," he said.
A win for The Brazilians will mean a first continental title since 2016 under Pitso Mosimane.
Kick-off is at 19:00 (SA time).
