Brayan Leon hails dream start at Mamelodi Sundowns after scoring on debut

Brayan Leon hails dream start at Mamelodi Sundowns after scoring on debut

The Colombian striker opened his Brazilians account with a goal on debut in the 2-0 Betway Premiership win over Orbit College last week.

The former Independiente Medellín attacker made the switch from the Colombian top-flight and was again impressive in a 2-2 CAF Champions League draw with Al-Hilal last Friday, both as substitute appearances.

Reflecting on his fast start to life in South Africa, Leon explained that it was important to make an impact with his new team.

"I think it's a really good adaptation to start with a goal and not lose. I think that's what's important. Here in South Africa, I think football is more technical. I think that's what I've seen most here. I think the tournament is very physical," he said in the Citizen.

Leon could potentially make his first start against Sekhukhune United at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Tuesday.

"The fruits of strikers is scoring goals. I think that's important, to arrive and score. I think (scoring on debut) that's the beginning of what's to come later on," Leon added.
