  • Esperance down Etoile in Tunisian Derby

 

Mamelodi Sundowns moved to within a point of qualification to the quarterfinals of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League after completing a double over defending champions Al Ahly, beating them 1-0 in Johannesburg yesterday. 

The victory took Sundowns to 10 points, six ahead of Ahly, Al Merrikh and Al Hilal who are all on four points, with two rounds of matches left.

While Sundowns are comfortably wheeling into the last eight, holders Ahly now have a mountain to climb as they must win their last two games to enhance their hopes of making the quarters.

Meanwhile, Esperance have zoomed to the top of Group C in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League after beating Etoile du Sahel 2-0 in the Tunisian Derby at the Stade Olympique de Radès in Tunis on Saturday.

Abdelkader Bedrane and Mohamed Ben Romdhane scored the goals for Esperance as they moved to eight points, same as second placed CR Belouizdad.

While Esperance moved closer to a place in the last eight, Etoile now have to win their remaining two games to progress. They are still on three points and third in the group. Meanwhile, Jwaneng Galaxy can officially not qualify for the quarter finals as they are bottom with a point.
