'Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates fans can open case at nearest police station! Mamelodi Sundowns are into Caf Champions League semi-finals, but against Al Ahly, we just do it for Percy Tau; it must be a war after what they did to him' - Fans

The Brazilians progressed to the last four after holding Esperance to a goalless draw in a tight duel in Tunis.

Mamelodi Sundowns showed grit by eliminating Esperance and advancing to the Caf Champions League semi-final.

They are now set to face African and Egyptian giants Al Ahly, who saw off Al Hilal in their respective semi-finals.

After a 1-0 win in the first leg and a goalless draw in Tunisia, Downs have now progressed to the semi-final for the third straight season.

They were saved by a lengthy VAR check that disallowed a goal by Esperance, and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Ronwen Williams made crucial saves to ensure the Premier Soccer League giants did not go down.

After the showdown that ended in victory for the Tshwane giants, GOAL takes a look at how fans reacted.

    Super proud

    Cardoso is a tactician and a half. That’s probably the poorest performance we’ll ever see from (Teboho) Mokoena. (Marcelo) Allende has 40 lungs. (Khuliso) Mudau is the best on this continent. What a grown-up performance by the boys; super proud of this group - Wawazille

    Well done to the coach and the boys. This is how you win the Caf Champions League. Nothing too fancy at this stage of the tournament. Our boys showed so much maturity and respect for the game. Well Done - Mnca Mnce

    To the semis, we go

    (Ronwen) Williams, (Divine) Lunga, Allende, Mokoena, and Mudau really played their hearts out. This is how Champions League matches are played: no beautiful football but only the best results. To the semis we go, kaboyellow! - Epho
