Sport Sundowns are living the dream as they demolish Al AhlySweet victory for Brazilians as they head to Egypt with an overwhelming hometown winTaking a comfortable lead and a clean slate to north Africa in a CAF interclub competition is a dream for any team. Mamelodi Sundowns are living this dream heading to the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal against Al Ahly, who must overturn a five-goal deficit in Egypt on Saturday. The South African champions yesterday evoked memories of 2016 when they cut Ahly to shreds in the same manner they demolished another Egyptian powerhouse, Zamalek, also in Atteridgeville, when Sundowns went on to annex their maiden Champions League trophy. Nevertheless, these were positive signs as Sundowns moved up a gear, with quick transitions, to finally hurt the Egyptian champions. Coach Pitso Mosimane’s side did not take their foot off the pedal in the second half, which was quite impressive for a team that had played a taxing league game against Pirates on Monday.
