It was a recovery win by Sundowns who started their Caf Champions League title defence on the backfoot by losing 1-0 to Egyptian side FC Masar on Sunday.

The South African giants are back on course to winning the Champions League for the third time.

On Wednesday, coach Jerry Tshabalala brought back goalkeeper Andile Dlamini in place of Botswana international Maitumelo Boseja.

Regulars like Bambanane Mbane, Lebohang Ramelepe, and Nonhlanhla Mthandi started while Kholosa Biyana surprisingly came off the bench.

But Banyana ba Style still rang loud in the match and had already completed the job in the first half.

Sundowns now prepare for their last group game against Nigerian side Edo Queens on Saturday.
