African Football League
Teams: Mamelodi Sundowns v Al Ahly

The Brazilians booked their spot in the semi-final on Tuesday following a goalless draw against Petro de Luanda, having won the first leg 2-0 last weekend.
The draw against Petro did come at a loss, as Sundowns will be without defender Mothobi Mvala who was sent off in the second leg.
Rulani Mokwena’s charges will come up against a familiar foe as Al Ahly overcome Simba SC on the away-goals rule on Tuesday afternoon.
The two sides have met quite a bit in the last few years, including last season’s CAF Champions League group stages.
Sundowns secured a 2-2 draw against Al Ahly in Cairo, before registering a 5-2 thrashing at the FNB Stadium as they topped the group.
Al Ahly, who finished second in the group, did have the final laugh, as they went on to lift the Champions League title.
Here’s how they line-up:
Mamelodi Sundowns: Williams, Kekana, Coetzee, Boutouil, Mudau, Mokoena, Modiba, Allende, Zwane, Sirino, Maseko
Subs: D.Onyango, De Reuck, Lebusa, B.Onyango, NKu, Zungu, Mashego, Mendieta, Mkhulise, Mabena, Maema, Maboe
Al Ahly: El Shenawy, Maaloul, Abd Almonem, Hany, Rabia, Marawan, Dieng, Afsha, Reda Slim, Tau, Salah Moshen.
