Gallants, who thumped the Libyan side 4-1 in the first round, are first in the group with nine points from four matches and a victory will be enough to secure a passage to the knockout phase.

Al Ahly are hoping that Sundowns beat the Sudan side and win their last two matches in the group stages.

Six minutes later, the Ahly number seven had his second of the evening, another simple finish from close range from a tau assist. The Egyptians had recycled play quick from a throw on the left with Mohamed Abdelkader sending Tau through with a defense splitting pass, before the latter slapped low for Kahraba to finish. They found themselves trailing after just 23 minutes, when Kahraba scored the first of his three with a simple tap in from a Magdy Afsha low cross from the right.

The upshot of a Sundowns defeat is that the 10-time CAF Champions League title-holders Al Ahly will not reach the knock-out stages of the competition.

Some media reports point to Sundowns fielding a vastly changed team for the purpose of rotation. Ali and another Sundowns official were in Sudan since last weekend to prepare the way for the team's arrival. The Sundowns hierarchy took strong exception to the news and Ali was recalled to South Africa from Sudan. It will be equally hard to swallow a Sundowns defeat because last week they destroyed the pride of Egypt with a 5-2 win at Loftus. On Saturday, they play Al Hilal and in two weeks’ time, they host the winless Cameroon side Coton Sport. They will therefore be eliminated regardless of the outcome of their final Group B game next month.
