Mamelodi Sundowns’ CAF Champions League dreams are hanging by a thread after they slumped to a 2-0 first leg loss to Egyptian giants Al Ahly in their quarterfinal clash at the Cairo International Stadium on Saturday.

Ali Maâloul bagged a second-half brace for the home side, who had looked unimpressive up to that point, though Sundowns themselves mustered little in the way of chances in front of goal.

A yard either side of the gloveman and it would surely have been a dream start for The Brazilians. From then on Ahly did most of the pressing, with Sundowns looking for opportunities on the break. Sundowns were denied a break when Sirino was hacked down in one of a number of overzealous tackles on the Uruguayan, who was clearly targeted for some rough treatment from the Ahly players.
