Denis Onyango: 6/10
Onyango did not have much to do for most of the match, although he made a fine one-on-one save in the opening 10 minutes to deny Malango.
Wayne Arendse: 6/10
Arendse was solid throughout the match. His anticipation was good considering that Sundowns were playing a high line for most of the encounter.
Ricardo Nascimento: 6.5/10
Apart from the penalty he scored that gave Sundowns the win, Nascimento had a shaky performance in the heart of the defence and he was lucky not to be punished for an error his committed in the first half.
Thapelo Morena: 6/10
Morena seems to enjoying the full-back role and he had a good game going forward, but was caught out of position on a couple of occasions.
Tebogo Langerman: 7/10
Langerman was solid on the left-back and he had his timing spot on every time he had to make overlapping runs.
Anthony Laffor: 6/10
Laffor had a good game and gave the Mazembe defence trouble, most notably in the second half, although he did squander a big chance midway through the second stanza.
Themba Zwane: 5/10
Zwane drifted in and out of the game. He was anonymous in the first-half, although he was livelier in the second stanza before he was replaced.
Tiyani Mabunda: 8/10
Mabunda was outstanding tonight. He broke up the Mazembe attacks quietly and initiated attacks for Sundowns.He packs a great engine and gave the attacking players platform to play.
Percy Tau: 7/10
Tau was effective in the number 10 role. He opened the opposition defence on numerous occasions. His small frame gave the Mazembe defence a hard time.
Hlompho Kekana: 7/10
Kekana had a good game. He was complemented brilliantly by his midfield partner Mabunda. The midfield duo controlled the match superbly.
Khama Billiat: 7/10
Billiat had a good game as the lone striker. He could not be contained and combined well with Percy Tau and Athony Laffor in attack.
