Reigning South Africa footballer of the year Themba Zwane scored twice as Mamelodi Sundowns crushed a 10-man Algerian side CR Belouizdad 5-1 on Sunday to take control of their Caf Champions League group. Sundowns put on a master class showing throughout the match and although Belouizdad had their chances‚ the reigning South African champions hardly put a foot wrong as they suffocated the life out of their opponents. Sudan’s Al Hilal and DR Congo giants TP Mazembe played to a goalless draw in their match in Omdurman on Wednesday. The result from Omdurman saw Mazembe collect their second point‚ having also played to the same result against Belouizdad in their opening game. Hilal picked their first point of the competition having lost 2-0 to the 2016 champions Sundowns in their first match.
