    Following a goalless first half, Sundowns took the lead in the 66th minute when Iqraam Rayners scored from a counter-attack by goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.

    But the hosts hit back after eight minutes through captain Mohamed Hrimat who connected a Youseef El Fahli cross.

    It ended 1-1 at the Stade Ben Ahmed El Abdi with Masandawana failing to collect maximum points for a second straight Champions League outing.

    THE MVP

    Difficult to pick an outstanding player in a contest where both teams did not look to win the game but seemed satisfied with the draw.

    But Rayners stood out for an instrumental contribution to earn his side a crucial point on the road.

    THE BIG LOSER

    For a team that used to be dominant in the Champions League group stages in recent seasons, it's not a good read for Masandawana right now.

    They have two points from as many group games and that leaves them third on the table.
