Mamelodi Sundowns vs Wiliete

Mamelodi Sundowns are out of the CAF Champions League. They drew 1-1 at home to Wiliete on Friday night, and because the first leg in Angola finished goalless, the Angolan side go through on away goals. The defending champions made a good start at Loftus Versfeld. Tashreeq Matthews put them ahead in the 11th minute. (Goal.com spells the surname Mathews.) They had the early lead, but they never managed to kill the tie off. The visitors levelled four minutes after the break. Mabululu scored in the 49th minute, and it was Wiliete's only shot that counted all night. It was also the away goal that decided the tie. The reports mention no red cards and no other incidents. For Sundowns, the exit is a heavy one. They were the overwhelming favourites, and they will miss the group stage for the first time since 2015. CAF has scrapped the play-off that used to send Champions League losers into the Confederation Cup, so there is no way back into Africa this season. They next face Marumo Gallants in the Knockout Cup on 27 October. Wiliete reach the group stage.
