A single goal in the first half of the match sealed the victory for Mamelodi Sundowns over Egyptian giants Al Ahly in the second leg of the first round of the CAF Champions League match played at the FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The much anticipated match saw at least 2000 fans be allowed entry to the stadium for the first time since the outbreak of the coronavirus, although national side Bafana Bafana has also enjoyed some cheer from the stands, today’s decision to have fans come through is being seen as a breakthrough for Premier Soccer League matches to also start having fans come back to the stands.
Mamelodi Sundowns qualified for the quarterfinals of the Caf Champions League with two Group A games to spare after completing a remarkable first double over Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly. Sundowns will complete their group matches with away tie to Al-Merrikh on Saturday and Al-Hilal at home on April 1.
