Result

Sundowns 2-2 Wydad [Wydad win on away goals rule]

Defending champions Wydad Casablanca are on course to defend their crown after eliminating favourites Mamelodi Sundowns following a 2-2 draw in Pretoria in the second semi-final of the Caf Champions League.

The two sides went into the game on the back of a goalless stalemate in Casablanca a week ago with Sundowns slightly favourites in Pretoria.

Head to head. Once again.

They deservedly went ahead in the 49^th minute when Themba Zwane capitalised on a mistake at the back to give the hosts a lead.

But they were pegged back in the 72^nd minute when Ayoub El Amloud put the ball in the net, finishing off a pass from Yahya Jebrane.

The last dance.

Peter Shalulie then restored Sundowns lead in the 79^th minute with what appeared to be the winner but an own goal four minutes later from Mothobi Mvala saw Wydad through.

They set up a final against Egyptians Al Ahly for a second successive year.
