Sundowns and Pyramids enter CAF Champions League final

JOHANNESBURG: Al Ahly defender Yasser Ibrahim conceded a 90th-minute own goal to give Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa a place in the CAF Champions League final, where they will face another Egyptian club, Pyramids.

Ahly and Sundowns drew I-I before a capacity 73,000 Cairo crowd and, after a O-O semi-final first leg, Sundowns qualified on the away-goal rule and will host the first leg of the final on May 24.

Democratic Republic of Congo-born Fiston Mayele was the hero as Pyramids came from behind twice to beat Orlando Pirates of South Africa 3-2 in the return match and on aggregate.

In stark contrast to the earlier match, only a few thousand spectators watched Pyramids qualify in only their second Champions League appearance as they lack the huge fan base of Ahly.
