Rainford Kalaba, Kabaso Chongo and Giveb Singuluma were all in action for TP Mazembe as when they lost 1 – 0 away to Mamelodi Sundowns.
Khama Billiat’s 86th minute goal won it for Sundowns in a game Zambia’s forst choice goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene was again reduced to watching from the bench.
Kabaso started at right back for the Congo giants while Singuluma played in the attacking midfield role at the bottom of the diamond formation.
Kalaba played on the right side of attack.
Mazembe who are experienced campaigners in the champions league having won the tournament four times will be looking to overturn the tables in the return leg to be played in Lubumbashi.
Mazembe will win in Lubumbashi by more than 2 goals.
Im not so sure anymore Billy, remember what happened with Pirates, everyone was expecting TP to white wash Pirates in Lubumbashi but pirates produced a shock result even after TP were awarded two penalties. Im truly on the fence for the return leg.
Orlando Pirates were saved by Collins Mbesuma and otherwise they could have been booted out.Sundowns does not stand any chance of winning this tie after just getting a one zero lead to the most intimidating stadium in Lubumbashi.Sundowns will be on the ropes in Lubumbashi throughout the match.
mazembe with better experience are favorites..no doubt
TP Tuzembe will win in Kasai land.
