The two sides are meeting in the last-eight of this competition for the third season running but this time around there is added intrigue
Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rhulani Mokwena has welcomed their Caf Champions League quarter-final pairing against Al Ahly as “competitive” but says their main focus at the moment is on Sunday’s Premier Soccer League clash against Orlando Pirates.
Sundowns visit Pitso Mosimane's Al Ahly for the first leg on the weekend of May 14-16 before they host the Cairo giants the following weekend.
For a third straight season, the two teams are meeting in the Champions League quarter-finals and Al Ahly went on to clinch last season’s title under former Masandawana coach Mosimane.
