The 1-1 draw came at the end of a high tempo, pulsating game with plenty of incident and evidence that Sundowns can be taken on at their home fortress.
He was open on the left as the City defence was stretched but his shot was straight at Perter Leeuwenburg, who got his body behind it and then watched with much relief as the ball hit him, went up onto the woodwork and away to safety. From the resultant corner, Sundowns failed to clear properly with Thato Mokeke able to keep the ball alive and Edmilson having time to turn and shot across the goal, with his effort going in off the post for the equalizer.
It should have been 2-1 to the visitors after 40 minutes when Kermit Erasmus’ perfectly weighted pass saw Mokeke rushing on with just the goalkeeper to beat but the ball bobbled up at the vital moment and Mokeke’s effort on his weaker right foot was poor.
