  "summary": "Former Mamelodi Sundowns performance analyst Dayle Solomon has reassured the South African club that they should not fear a physical challenge from Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ahli in their upcoming FIFA Intercontinental Cup match. Despite Al-Ahli's high-profile roster, which includes England international Ivan Toney and Portugal winger Francisco Trincão, Solomon believes Sundowns, who have shown they can compete at the international level, should approach the match with confidence. He attributes Sundowns' advantage to their mobility and quick ball movement, which could help them counter Al-Ahli's physicality.",
