Paez looking forward to Sundowns clash

Kaizer Chiefs striker Gustavo Paez is looking forward to facing his friend, Leonardo Castro, when Amakhosi face Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday night.


Paez, who hails from Venezuela, says his friendship with the Colombian striker will be forgotten when Amakhosi meet the Brazilians at FNB Stadium.

“My wife and I visited my friend from Sundowns, Leonardo Castro, a few days ago and we spoke about how crucial this game is for our respective teams,” Paez told the club’s website.

“We are both looking forward to playing against each other. We forget about our friendship on the field of play and focus on getting the three points. I’ve been watching a lot of their games and I know their style of play.”

The game is set to take place at the FNB Stadium on Saturday at 8.15pm.
