Al-Hilal secured a vital 21 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns in an absorbing CAF Champions League Group C clash at Amahoro Stadium in Rwanda on Friday evening.
Goals from Mohamed Abdelrahman and Jean Claude Girumugisha proved decisive for the Sudanese giants, while Arthur Sales second-half strike was not enough to rescue a point for the Brazilians.
The result propels Al-Hilal to the summit of the group with eight points from four matches, opening up a three-point gap over Sundowns, who remain second on five. It also marked Miguel Cardosos first defeat of the group stages, with scrutiny likely to fall on his team selection.
