Mamelodi Sundowns slip up in wet Winelands as Stellenbosch FC ... (Independent Online)

Iqraam Rayners' match-saving goal against Sundowns was his sixth since re-joining Stellenbosch three weeks ago.

He made a telling impact by scoring after only 11 minutes on the field. In early second-half play, Stellebosch continued with their exuberant play and the opening 15 minutes play was played almost entirely in Sundowns' half. One player from the triple change was Mailula who replaced Thapelo Morena. In some cases, fouls proved a handy tool to stop Stellenbosch in their tracks. As a result, several players slipped as they battled with the conditions. All in all, the first-half honours could have gone either way as both teams created scoring opportunities.

Sundowns' 15-win run ends after conceding late equaliser (Jacaranda FM)

A run of 15 consecutive South African Premiership victories by runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns ended on Sunday when they drew 1-1 at mid-table ...

"Conceding a late equaliser will actually do us a lot of good. Sundowns are chasing a treble this season -- the Premiership, the South African FA Cup and the CAF Champions League. The team had become so used to winning in the Premiership that we had forgotten what it is like to battle for a point."

Sundowns fielded several second-stringers and that prompted coach Rulani Mokwena to say that at one stage he didn't recognise his team.

Mamelodi Sundowns look to get back to winning ways against Al Ahly (Independent Online)

After being held to a draw in the Premiership on Sunday, Sundowns will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Champions League this weekend.

Their saving grace perhaps is the fact that they still have to host a Coton Sport, who is essentially out of the running. It is for that reason that Sundowns can expect a fired-up Al Ahly. The Egyptians are currently third in the group on four points from three matches and trail second-placed Al Hilal by two points. Not that many pundits would have expected the group to be as tight as it is. Al Ahly will make the trip cock-a-hoop after they dispatched Cameroon’s Coton Sport with ease in a 3-0 victory in Cairo Saturday. However, such has been their continental showing that Sundowns cannot be accused of being complacent in the Champions League.

Head coach Rhulani Mokwena is desperate for his side to go all the way in this competition with Downs cruising in the PSL, despite a 1-1 draw at the weekend against Stellenbosch. Sundowns did the double over record 10-time African champions Al Ahly last season. If they can win here in Tshawne against Al Ahly, they’ll go a long way to eliminating one of the biggest sides on the continent. Visitors Al Ahly, under the tutelage of Marcel Koller, have never won a game on South African soil. ICYMI:
