After Mamelodi Sundowns failed to capitalise on home-ground advantage over the weekend, a dream all-South African CAF Champions League final hangs in the balance.
Sundowns and Egypts record 14-time title holders Al Ahly cancelled each other out in a tense 0-0 draw in the first leg of their CAF Champions League semi-final at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.
The stalemate has set the stage for a thrilling return fixture on Friday night at the Cairo International Stadium 6pm kick-off.
Al Ahly are unbeaten at home in the CAF Champions League since 2021, and will fancy their chances of securing a place in the final as they chase a record-extending 15th continental crown.
On Saturday, both teams demonstrated their tactical prowess, with Sundowns managing only a solitary shot on target.
