Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso could have another reason to celebrate beyond winning the CAF Super Cup as his team prepares to face USM Alger in Tshwane.

The Portuguese tactician is approaching a notable milestone with the Brazilians, as the club moves closer to reaching 200 goals under his leadership. Achieving the landmark would represent another significant achievement during his time in charge of one of South Africa's most successful football clubs.

Since taking over at Sundowns, Cardoso has continued to guide the team through domestic and continental competitions, with attacking performances forming an important part of their campaign.

The possibility of reaching 200 goals adds extra motivation ahead of the Super Cup encounter. However, the main priority will remain securing the continental title against a USM Alger side determined to challenge for the trophy.

For Cardoso, winning the competition would strengthen his record at Sundowns while providing another opportunity to add silverware to his managerial achievements. Reaching the goal milestone would offer an additional reward for the team's attacking consistency under his guidance.

Sundowns have built their reputation around possession-based football, technical quality and creating scoring opportunities. Their ability to maintain that attacking approach has been an important feature of Cardoso's tenure.

The upcoming fixture therefore carries significance beyond the trophy itself. It gives the team an opportunity to make history under their current coach while continuing their pursuit of success on the continental stage.

Cardoso will hope his players deliver another strong attacking performance against the Algerian opponents, although the result will ultimately determine whether Sundowns add the CAF Super Cup to their collection.
