Monday 19 October 2026, South African club Mamelodi Sundowns began their Caf Champions League title defence by drawing 0-0 away to Angolan outfit Williete on Sunday in a second round, first leg qualifier.
The defending Champions were without injured captain and goalkeeper Ronwen Williams and star midfielder Teboho Mokoena left the field on a stretcher after being fouled in the first half.
Sundowns did well to contain the threat of Wiliet striker Mabululu, the veteran Angola captain who scored three goals in the previous qualifying round.
The clubs meet again on Friday in Pretoria with the aggregate winners advancing to the group phase of the premier African club competition.
Sundowns have lifted the Champions League twice and hope to become the first South African club to win back -to -back titles.
