Sundowns Advances to Caf Champions league final

Mamelodi Sundowns have advanced to the Caf champions league final 2016, after beating Zesco united, 2-0 in their second leg semi finals clash on the 24th of September 2016, two days before my birthday which was on the 26th of September 2016. Many South African football lovers, didn't give the Cloorkop based outfit a chance after they were beaten 2-1 in their first leg Caf champions league semi final on the 17th of September 2016, Thanks to their star strike, Khama Billiat, for scoring a away crucial goal, that lifted their hopes for the second leg clash, that they won 2 - 0, thanks to Antoney Laffor and Percey tau goals that helped the Tshwane baed outfit reach the finals after a long period of time.


Mamelodi Sundowns will now face Egyptian giants, Zamalek, for their double leg final. They will travel to Egypt for their first leg clash on the 14th of October 2016, Friday, then they will play their second leg final match on the 21th of October 2016, Friday. Many believe that Mamelodi Sundowns can beat Zamalek again in the finals, after they had already beaten the Egyptian giants twice during the group stages of the tournament. The Tshwane based outfit is the best team in South Africa currently, but they are under pressure to perform, they have managed to reach two finals in  one week after beating Chippa United 1-0 in their second leg MTN semi final and Zesco United 2 -1 in their Caf champions league Semi final.


Mamelodi Sundowns came first on their group stages of the tournament with 9 points, Zamalek came second in the same group with Mamelodi Sundowns with 6 points. This is good news to Mamelodi Sundowns fans and South Africa as a whole, because this means that, the Tshwane based outfit, will play their Second leg final match at home but will travel for the first leg clash. Pitso Mosimane has turned Mamelodi Sundowns, into one of the big teams, both domestically and in African competitions, although Zamalek, are the most consistent club in African competitions after winning this competition several times together with their rivals Al Ahly.
