Not many teams, if any, can brag about scoring five goals against Al Ahly on two separate occasions and Mamelodi Sundowns hold that honour, but there are some other big wins in the CAF Champions League for the Tshwane giants.
Sundowns tore the Ahly defence apart at Loftus Stadium over the weekend, proving that they are a force on the continent, though they know that it would mean absolutely nothing if they don't go all the way to win the competition. It will be a big boost for Sundowns, who need to build on the victory to ensure they finally get the second star they have been trying to get since 2016.
