Chilean Marcelo Allende, Brazilian Lucas Ribeiro and Neo Maema were the successful penalty takers for Mamelodi Sundowns, who won the premier African club competition in 2016.Mamelodi Sundowns dominated possession throughout the return match on a cool autumn night, but lacked imagination when attacking and rarely troubled Malian goalkeeper Djigui Diarra.
Ki thought he had given the east African club the lead on 59 minutes when his fierce shot from inside the area beat Ronwen Williams and rebounded off the underside of the bar.
