Mamelodi Sundowns need one more point to qualify to make sure of a place in the last eight of the African Champions League after a last gasp own goal gave them victory in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Saturday.

They beat Maniema Union 2-1 away in Kinshasa to move up to eight points in second place in Group B, where they are three ahead of third placed Raja Casablanca, who drew later on Saturday in the Moroccan derby with leaders Royal Armed Forces, who have nine points.

Maniema Union took the lead in the 38th minute in Kinshasa when Jafty Kitambala finished a precise counter-attack to give the home team a deserved advantage but it was a different story after the break as Sundowns dominated possession.

Substitute striker Peter Shalulile equalised with seven minutes remaining before pressure on the home defence saw defender Exosya Mwanda deflect the ball into his own net while attempting to clear a cross.

The defeat eliminated Maniema Union from any chance of advancing.

Sundowns can now aim to finish top of the group when they host the Moroccan military side in Pretoria next Sunday.
