Sundowns made two changes to the side that thrashed Coton Sport, as they were boosted by the return of Themba Zwane and Peter Shalulile, with Thapelo Morena and Neo Maema dropping to the bench.The Red Devils made their attacking intentions clear in the opening exchanges as Ahmed Abdelkader unleashed a threatening low shot in the box that forced goalkeeper Ronwen Williams to stretch and make a save.
The Brazilians eventually settled into their passing rhythm and were creating chances as on 18 minutes Shalulile had a strike that was kept out of goal by shot-stopper Mohamed El Shenawy.
