Thapelo Morena scored just four minutes after coming off the bench to give Mamelodi Sundowns of a massive 1-0 triumph over Pitso Mosimane’s defending champions Al Ahly in Cairo on Saturday. Catch the highlights here.
The substitute struck on 85 minutes of the Group A matchday 3 clash, firing past goalkeeper Mohamed el Shenawy after 10-time African champions Ahly fluffed a clearance.
It was the first Champions League victory for Sundowns over Ahly in the Egyptian capital after five consecutive losses from 2001 in which they failed to score and conceded 10 goals.
Victory lifted the Pretoria outfit to seven points in Group A, three more than Al Merrikh of Sudan and six ahead of Ahly and another Sudanese club, Al Hilal.
Ahly and Merrikh have a match in hand and will meet in Cairo on March 5 before the defending champions travel to South Africa for a return match against Sundowns the following weekend.
