Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking to secure a place in the semi-finals of
the African Football League when they host Petro de Luanda at Loftus
Versfeld Stadium this evening.
The South African side have one foot in the last four after securing a 2-0
victory in Angola over the weekend, thanks to goals from Marcelo Allende
and Thapelo Maseko, as well as an inspired performance from goalkeeper
Ronwen Williams.
Sundowns will be making their long-awaited return to Loftus Versfeld,
having played all their home games at the Lucas Moripe Stadium this
season. Petro, meanwhile, will have happy memories of their last visit to
South Africa, as they knocked Sundowns out of the CAF Champions League in
the quarter-finals on the away-goal rule thanks to a 1-1 draw at FNB
Stadium.
Mamelodi Sundowns have been a force to be reckoned with this campaign and
have won all their matches on home soil across all competitions.
The teams line up as follows: Mamelodi Sundowns: Williams, Mvala, Coetzee,
Boutouil, Mudau, Mokoena, Modiba, Allende, Zwane, Sirino, Maseko. Subs:
D.Onyango, Lebusa, D.Onyango, Nku, Zungu, Mashego, Mendieta, Kekana,
Mkhulise, Mabena, Maema, Maboe. Petro de Luanda: Domingos, Soares,
Antonio, Dinis, Nandinho, Fonseca, Domingos, Nascimento, Nacimento,
Nascimento, Nascimento. Subs: Jorge, Gomes, Costa, Cabral, Domingos,
Silva, Gomes, Dias, Mendonca.
Mamelodi Sundowns will be hoping to take another step closer to the
semi-finals of the African Football League when they host Petro de Luanda
at Loftus Versfeld Stadium this evening.
