Downs still in with a chance

Egyptians equalise in the 93rd minute in stoppage time

Despite bottling their lead and conceding a goal right at the death, Mamelodi Sundowns' CAF Champions League dream is still very much alive and intact, as they head to Cairo this coming Sunday with a slight disadvantage in their quest to bag the elusive second continental star.

Sundowns played to a disap-pointing 1-1 draw that still feels like a defeat against Egyptian outfit Pyramids FC during their Champions League first leg encounter at a sold-out Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

Pyramids equalised exactly on the 93rd minute of the four minutes stoppage time through Walid Elkarti and cancelled Lucas Ribeiro Costa’s second half wonder strike.

That goal may have brought flashbacks from the semi-final shocker against Wydad Casablanca to many, when Mothobi Mvala scored an own goal in the last-minute to cut their road to the final short.
