More work for Downs to qualify for Club World Cup
PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA - APRIL 05: Thembinkosi Lorch of Mamelodi Sundowns in action with Bakari Nondo of Young Africans SC during the CAF Champions League match between Mamelodi Sundowns and Young Africans SC at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on April 05, 2024 in Pretoria, South Africa.
Sundowns qualified for the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League after edging Young Africans 3-2 on penalties following a goalless draw in the quarter-final second-leg and also scoreless on aggregate. FIFA allocates three points for a victory, one point for a draw and three points for progression into the next round of the CAF Champions League and by not winning the encounter against Yanga, Sundowns missed out on stretching their lead ahead of Esperance even further.
The trick now for Sundowns is that they will face Esperance in the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League, which means they can only confirm their spot in the 32-team world showpiece, which reportedly carries a minimum prize money of €50 million for reaching the group stages, if they knock Esperance out of Africa's premier club tournament.
