While Young Africans are minnows at this stage, Mamelodi Sundowns have been regulars and are former continental champions (2016).

Ahead of their CAF Champions League quarterfinal clash, Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Dennis Masinde Onyango has warned Young Africans SC to quit talking and wait for action.

The two sides are set to lock horns in the first leg bout at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Saturday.

While Young Africans are minnows at this stage, Mamelodi Sundowns have been regulars and are former continental champions (2016).

“ Football is not played on social media but on the pitch, 11 against 11, the social media guys will stay on their phones as the players play for the result on the pitch," Onyango told the press ahead of the showdown.

While he is set to continue playing second fiddle to South African Ronwen Wiiliams, Onyango vowed to sweat and give his absolute best for Masandawana.

“Sundowns pays my bills and I have to do whatever it takes to help my team win. Even if I was Tanzanian I would snitch on Yanga because they pay my bills," he said.

“We are hungrier than them (Yanga) and the target is to go all the away to the final, we know the challenges that come with it but we are prepared for the game."

Onyango and Sundowns are set to battle compatriot and Uganda Cranes Khalid Aucho, who trades for the opposite end.
