That goal meant Sundowns had to score four to get the better of Al-Ahly who had won the first leg of this tie by 2-0 in Cairo a week ago. The tough obstacle that Sundowns had to overcome turned into a mountain steeper and higher than Mount Kilimanjaro.
Al-Ahly showed their experience in how they managed the game. They stole every second they could, especially El-Shenawy who gingerly restarted play after every Sundowns’ attack. That and Al-Ahly’s confrontational nature frustrated the hosts. The Brazilians protested but then went on with the business as they expected this.
