Setif piled the pressure on the Brazilians after the interval with some dangerous set-pieces in the 'Downs third, but it was the visitors who scored again. In the 63rd minute the lead was doubled as some terrific individual skill from Billiat resulted in a second goal. The Zimbabwean sliced through the defence before placing a composed finish beyond the goalkeeper. The hosts became more frustrated as the game wore on and resorted to some cynical tackling but the Sundowns players didn't find any protection from the referee and had to soldier on to secure a hard-fought victory.
Here's how Sundowns lined up: Sandilands, Mbekile, Nthethe, Arendse, S. Zwane, Mabunda (Modise 83'), Kekana, T. Zwane, Dolly, Billiat, Castro (Ngele 70') The game came to an unsavoury end as unruly Setif supporters vented their frustration by breaking through some of the security fences, bringing a temporary hault to the clash before the visitors could see out the last few minutes and celebrate their win.
