The Brazilians now look forward to a semifinal probably against recent rivals and 2017 tournament winners Wydad Casablanca of Morocco.
Downs had done all the work in the supposed disadvantage of playing the home leg first with a 5-0 win in Atteridgeville, dispatching of Ahly 5-1 on aggregate in a manner completely unknown to the eight-time Champions League winners.
It took a mammoth effort, and every bit of Sundowns' experience and ability at this level, to take the second leg to 0-0 by the break. With all that quality, Ahly could not breach the Brazilians by the break, and only did once in the 90 minutes.The Downs keeper soldiered in the face of some repeated first-half roughing-up.Wayne Arendse gave the ball away to Azarou for another powerful strike at Onyango, who saved again when another struck as thunderously by Sobhi.
