Minnies scored the second goal of the game as Sundowns beat Costa do Sol in the CAF Women’s Champions League COSAFA qualifiers.

The victory meant that Sundowns topped the qualifying group with nine points from three games.

As a result, they will face Zambia’s Green Buffaloes in the semi-finals, while Costa do Sol will meet Botswana’s Double Action Ladies in the other semi, iDiski Times reported.

The winner of the final will represent the region at the continental finals in Ivory Coast in November. Sundowns have previously won the Champions League and will be looking to bring home the title once more.

Having scored 23 goals last season for the South African side, Minnies will be looking to lead the team towards more titles. Last season was her first with the side, having joined them from Vasco da Gama.

Only 21 years old, Minnies is definitely proving to be a star of the future.

As noted by Sundowns’ website, the youngster has already notched up a host of achievements.

She was the top goal scorer for the Sasol League in 2021 with Vasco Da Gama Ladies.

She was also the Sasol League Provincial Championship player of the Tournament and the Sasol League Championship top goal scorer for the Tournament.

Miche Minnies is a name to remember.

The Mamelodi Sundowns youngster is trending on social media, but it’s not for her skill, Sports Brief reported.

Minnies, a 21-year-old striker for Masandawana’s women's side, has been trending on social media due to her resemblance to Brazilian great, Ronaldinho.
