Mamelodi Sundowns were left frustrated after they were held to a 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal in the Caf Champions League Group B encounter at the Al-Hilal Stadium on Saturday.

Khuliso Mudau capitalised on a free-kick rebound to put Sundowns ahead in the 67th minute, and Mohamed Abdelrahman equalised five minutes later after dispossessing Williams.

Abdelrahman would have normally taken the penalty, but he had been substituted, leaving El Tahir to cover his face with his hands after missing a golden opportunity.

Kabylie, whose last of two Champions League titles came in 1990, advanced from Group A with a 1-0 victory over 2022 semifinalists Petro Luanda of Angola in the 90th minute.
