Mamelodi Sundowns, featuring Ugandan goalkeeper Denis Onyango, secured their spot in the CAF Champions League final. They progressed despite a tense moment against Esperance.

Just minutes before the break, Esperance came agonizingly close to leveling the score. An unusual effort off a player’s knee tested the Sundowns defense, but they held firm.

Onyango’s heroics contributed to Sundowns’ strong performance, paving the way for the final showdown.
