Watch the highlights as Mamelodi Sundowns are held to a 0-0 draw by ASEC Mimosa in their Caf Champions League match-up in the Ivory Coast on Tuesday afternoon.
Sundowns topped Group A alongside Moroccan giants Wydad Casblanca on six points heading into the encounter against ASEC.
Downs, who defeated the Ivorian side 3-1 at Loftus Versfeld at the start of February, were hoping for a victory to take a big step towards qualification.
The Brazilians, however, were met with some resilient defending by ASEC in game where both sides struggled to create any chances of note.
