00:00 The yellow on one side, the red and white on the other.

00:03 And the teams emerge onto the field at the Loftus-Felsfeld Stadium in Pretoria.

00:08 Resting him ahead of the return leg when they will have that

00:12 probably very important home advantage.

00:15 It's just a bit strange.

00:16 It's a bit strange.

00:17 He's the one who normally

00:19 scores for them.

00:22 And I think maybe he might have some physical problems.

00:25 I should think so because I've been there

00:28 and sometimes people might wonder why a player who's scored two games,

00:32 two goals in two games and then a beginning of the bench.

00:34 Maybe there might be

00:36 a slight last minute change or something.

00:38 So let's see how he's going to play.

00:40 Like maybe it's a tactical change or something.

00:43 All smiles in there, but an opportunity for Marlul

00:47 to deliver this free kick.

00:49 The referee is keeping a close eye on any pushing and shoving in the area.

00:52 It's headed away.

00:56 And to drill back in very powerfully, but straight into the arms of

01:00 Kootse to the left-hand side.

01:04 Running.

01:10 The ball flashed across the face of goal.

01:12 It was too high for any takers in the middle.

01:15 Mane Moquena.

01:16 Allende whips it in, but too much height on that delivery from

01:22 Marcelo Allende.

01:25 Let's see if they can produce a better delivery this time.

01:28 Allende is across there, but he's going to leave this ball.

01:31 It's driven all the way through and held by Mohamed El-Shanawi.

01:35 Alcico again taking on Hani.

01:43 It's good play.

01:44 Ball into the middle. Afshin

01:46 trying to get it clear.

01:48 African competition too.

01:53 An athlete team who lost the CAF Super Cup at the beginning of this season.

01:58 Involved in the Club World Cup recently as well.

02:01 And a chance possibly dropping for Timbers Vane.

02:04 Just wouldn't fall for the sundown skipper.

02:07 Causing problems on the away defence.

02:11 Kootse trying his luck from a long way out.

02:16 Mohamed El-Shanawi.

02:19 Rivaldo Kootse doing his best to bow Moquena.

02:22 Impression with the long-range effort.

02:24 That is what the home team should capitalise on.

02:28 They are playing at home, definitely they are going to attack more.

02:31 So when it's raining like that, when you shoot...

02:33 Can't fancy this one on his left foot.

02:35 Here's Modiba, it's just a bit too high.

02:43 No trouble from Mohamed El-Shanawi.

02:46 To bow Moquena.

02:48 Lifting it into the penalty box.

02:50 It was a fine delivery, a fine header too.

02:52 And an excellent save by Mohamed El-Shanawi.

02:55 To deny Tapelo Macejo.

02:57 Coming up to the half-hour mark.

03:02 And that's the best chance we've had yet.

03:04 Excellent ball in from Moquena.

03:10 A header well done by Moquena.

03:14 A header was very...

03:16 You can see that it's pretty windy today.

03:18 Corner flank blowing.

03:20 Joining Moquena.

03:33 There is Moquena on the ball.

03:34 Fighting it forward, looking for Sirino.

03:36 It's collected by El-Shanawi again.

03:40 Standing over the free kick, Koliso Moutao.

03:42 I think he's going to leave this for Modiba.

03:44 Once again, going for goal.

03:48 And once again, it's well over the top.

03:50 Mowbray Modiba.

03:51 Swipped it towards the first post.

03:59 And it's easily cleared away.

04:00 Again, the delivery.

04:02 Looking for Timbaz Vane Amdilmonem.

04:05 Trying to shepherd it back to the goalkeeper.

04:07 Nearly turned into a disaster for the away defence.

04:11 Allende.

04:12 Allende couldn't keep possession.

04:19 But that is the end of the first half.

04:21 It's been an engrossing first 45 minutes plus stoppage time

04:25 here at the Loftus-Fersfeld Stadium.

04:27 Amelodi Sundowns absolutely on top.

04:30 Ready to go again.

04:33 Amelodi Sundowns get us underway in the second half.

04:40 0-0 between the South African champions

04:44 and the Egyptian giants.

04:46 Al Akhli, Basamojan is alongside me.

04:49 He's not involving Lea.

04:52 I think the coach is trying to use him for the second leg

04:55 to be more offensive in the second leg.

04:58 So, he's hoping something good comes out from this game.

05:02 Modiba lining up the shot.

05:04 And it's just wide.

05:07 Tapino Museko, who was brought in ahead of this season

05:11 from Sundowns rivals, Supersport United.

05:14 Looks like a really exciting player

05:17 for the Sundowns fans to enjoy this season.

05:20 They've come again.

05:22 Museko once more.

05:23 It's a brilliant strike.

05:24 It's a stunning goal.

05:26 And Amelodi Sundowns have the breakthrough

05:30 in this semi-final.

05:34 A moment of world-class skill from Museko.

05:38 He just looked up and hit it

05:40 in the blink of an eye.

05:43 Mohamed El-Shenawy had no chance.

05:48 Right into the side netting.

05:50 Cross blood to Amelodi Sundowns.

05:57 It's the goal that they will feel they deserve

06:00 for the way they dominated the game in the first half.

06:02 But the quality in the final third wasn't there.

06:05 Now it is.

06:06 Percy Tang.

06:08 The home fans are by the home fans.

06:14 Now it becomes a different game

06:16 with Al-Akhli having to come out

06:18 and make more of an effort

06:20 to get themselves back into the game on the day

06:22 because they find themselves trailing.

06:29 It was Kurt Saint that could cut a midfield in there as well.

06:33 It's flicked on all the way across the face of goal.

06:36 Very, very close to being 2-0.

06:40 A good swing of delivery.

06:45 El-Shenawy wasn't sure whether to stay where he was

06:48 or come and collect that ball.

06:50 Al-Akhli looking for the equalising goal.

06:54 It's whipped in by Mahlul,

06:57 punched away by Williams.

06:59 Turned by Marwan Atiyah.

07:01 Ali Odiyev flicks it on and Abdelmounem...

07:03 ...will fill in in that position.

07:05 There doesn't appear to be any change to the shape

07:09 for the away team with these substitutions

07:11 as Masako comes infield.

07:13 Mendieta.

07:14 Lifting it forward, looking for Zvane.

07:16 It might just fall here.

07:18 Mudow denied by El-Shenawy.

07:21 That ball fell very kindly for him, arriving.

07:26 Marko Antalfic playing the 1-2 with Persi Tau.

07:29 Fresh legs of the substitute,

07:32 setting off on the run.

07:33 Roman Williams getting into big trouble.

07:37 Now there's space on the far side.

07:42 This might be the chance.

07:44 Mohamed having come off the bench,

07:46 stays on his feet,

07:47 trying to pick out Persi Tau.

07:49 Roman Williams doing just enough again.

07:51 Down goes Antalfic.

07:58 His play continues.

07:59 The ball into the penalty box.

08:01 Allende going down this time.

08:03 1-2 could make all the difference in this tie.

08:06 Swing and delivery.

08:11 Could be a very different game in a few days' time.

08:17 Maybe just the chance there has come off the upright.

08:19 El-Shenawy was beaten.

08:21 And the follow-up over the bar.

08:23 Just telling El-Shenawy to wait before restarting play.

08:28 That was the header at the near post,

08:30 which trundled along the face of goal

08:33 and came back off the post to the relief of the Al-Akhli defence.

08:37 The Egyptians escape with a 1-0 defeat here today.

08:42 And they think they're convinced that that keeps the tie alive.

08:45 Heading into the return in Cairo on Wednesday,

08:47 Mamelodi sundowns.
