'Khuliso Mudau really took the bullet for Mamelodi Sundowns, but the referee was a disgrace, he was bought & robbed Masandawana of a penalty! But with 57 supporters in stadium, you beat Al Ahly' - Fans

The defending Premier Soccer League champions defied the odds to eliminate the holders from the prestigious continental competition.

Mamelodi Sundowns drew 1-1 with Al Ahly on Friday evening to qualify for the Caf Champions League final on an away goal rule after playing to a goalless draw in the first leg of the semi-final played in Mzansi.

Despite playing in a packed Cairo International Stadium, Masandawana showed maturity to get a needed result to advance.

The fans are happy with the exploits by Miguel Cardoso's men and have lauded Khuliso Mudau for his display.

Not impressed with Cardoso's decisions
I'm not impressed with our coach's decisions. We're lucky to be going to the final. Themba Zwane should never be benched. We needed Mshishi and Ribeiro's skills on the field. At the same time - Matsele Skoon
