Pyramids frustrate Mamelodi Sundowns to steal point in Caf Champions League Group A fixture

The early stages of the game were marked by tactical play, with the away team adopting a defensive approach. The match also took on a physical intensity, with Pyramids creating discomfort for Sundowns.This proved frustrating for the Brazilians, who struggled to create clear-cut opportunities and entered the halftime break deadlocked.The second half mirrored the first, with both teams having ample opportunities to score and break the deadlock. However, after many nail-biting moments, the two teams shared the spoils, earning a point each in Group A.

WHAT HAPPENED

Marcelo Allende made a significant contribution on the day, generating three scoring opportunities for the home team. True to his style, the South American consistently gives his all, wearing his heart on his sleeve and consistently putting forth his best effort for the Brazilians.

GOAL MOTM

The visiting team journeyed to South Africa and successfully caused frustration for Sundowns, effectively containing them in a challenging encounter. Pyramids can draw encouragement from their performance on that day, showcasing solid defence to keep the Brazilians in check, while also applying pressure on Sundowns' defence through their own attacks.

WINNER

During the entire match, Sundowns lacked vitality in their performance. Their opponents demonstrated more determination, consistently keeping the Brazilians on the backfoot, especially when they counterattacked. This situation was not ideal, especially considering that Sundowns were playing on their home turf and should have capitalised on the advantage it provides.

LOSER

Next in line for the Brazilians is a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/match/mamelodi-sundowns-vs-cape-town-spurs/bjzkn24ktjij90jwl6elbfhn8" target="_blank">home league match</a> against bottom-ranked Cape Town Spurs on Wednesday, December 13. Sundowns currently <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/psl/table/yv73ms6v1995b5wny16jcfi3" target="_blank">lead the standings</a> with 30 points from ten matches and are also looking to preserve their ten-game unbeaten streak.
