Mamelodi Sundowns left back Lyle Lakay and Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Nkosingiphile Ngcobo have been named in the Caf Champions League Team of the Week after match-day three.
The Brazilians managed to secure their third consecutive victory in the group stages after beating TP Mazembe 2-1 to end the DR Congo side’s 74-unbeaten run at home.
Chiefs, meanwhile, recorded their first win in the group stages after claiming a 2-0 victory over Angola’s Petro Luanda at the FNB Stadium this past Saturday.
Sundowns currently sit at the summit of Group B with nine points from their first three games in the group stages, while Amakhosi are in third place four points off the Group C leaders.
However, Lakay and Ngcobo’s performances for Sundowns and Chiefs have earned them a place in this week’s Caf Champions League best XI after the third round of group-stage fixtures.
