HT Report: Sundowns 0-0 Al Ahly
NELSPRUIT, SOUTH AFRICA - OCTOBER 18: Marcelo Allende of Mamelodi Sundowns during the Carling Knockout match between TS Galaxy and Mamelodi Sundowns at Mbombela Stadium on October 18, 2023 in Nelspruit, South Africa.
Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly could not be separated after the opening 45 minutes at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday afternoon.With Mothobi Mvala suspended, Boutouil moved to the centre of the defence as Aubrey Modiba was recalled at left-back as the only change from Tuesday's draw against Petro de Luanda.
Rulani Mokwena's charges dominated from the onset, with Marcelo Allende dictating the play from the middle of the park although clear-cut chances were hard to come by in the early stages. The first clear-cut chance arrived on 30 minutes when Thapelo Maseko managed to get on the end of a delightful cross before seeing his close-range brilliantly turned away by Al Ahly goalkeeper Mohammed El Shenawy.
Al Ahly, meanwhile, certainly remembered the hiding they received at the hands of Sundowns on their last visit to South Africa, with Marcel Koller's quite happy to sit back and soak up the pressure in the frist half.Williams, Kekana, Coetzee, Boutouil, Mudau, Mokoena, Modiba, Allende, Zwane, Sirino, MasekoD.Onyango, De Reuck, Lebusa, B.
