Mamelodi Sundowns’ star Neo Maema has reacted to his superb solo goal that sealed the passage to his first major cup final with the club.
Maema scored the third of three goals in the Brazilians’ 3-0 second leg semifinal thumping of Golden Arrows in the MTN8 semi-final on Tuesday.
The skilful midfielder found the back of the net with a superb curling effort with his weaker right foot that left Sifiso Mlungwana in the Arrows goal, sprawling.
Maema revealed his delight at opening his account for his new team.
“I’m just glad I could get my first goal for the team and what a way to take us to the final. I mean it’s a great team effort especially with the support from the guys, the coaches and the management,” Maema told Sundowns TV
“The coaches especially for offensive players like us, the coaches encourage us to dribble, to take people on and I took a moment to trust myself and I saw that it was going in, so the keeper had no chance.” He said.
Maema says he is looking to make up for missing out on the 2020 edition of the tournament due to injury, a match that his side narrowly lost to Orlando Pirates, when his side takes on Cape Town City for the R8 million prize money on 30 October.
“It’s actually my second (final) but with my previous team I was injured, I didn’t play – but I am happy to go through to the final.”
