South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns host Zamalek of Egypt Saturday afternoon in the first leg of the African Champions League final.
Uganda Cranes goalkeeper Denis Onyango and his Mamelodi teammates are looking for their first continental title and have already beaten the Egyptians twice in the group stage of this year’s tournament.
And if Onyango needed any inspiration then maybe this message of support from Uganda Cranes’ Serbian head coach Micho should do just that – “We called 2015 Golden year of Ugandan football as we won unprecedented 6 away matches in all competitions.”
“Inside all above there is main ingredient of success arguably at present the best goalkeeper in African football Denis Onyango Golden boy with Diamond hands of Ugandan football that today has special test of character and new measurement of goalkeeping values against mighty Zamalek we wish him all the best in his last hurdle to put childhood dreams of winning African champions league into reality.
“Good luck serious guy from Nsambya you can do it 30+ millions of Ugandans +1Serbian+1 Croatian are keeping you in prayers just give today reason god as usual to be on your side.
Onyango who is also the 2015/16 goalkeeper of the year in the South Africa Premier League (PSL), has been named in the nominees for the African Player of the Year as well as in the category for those based on the continent.
