Mamelodi Sundowns exited the CAF Champions League after a 1-1 second-leg draw with Wiliete, who advanced on aggregate and reached the group stage.

Mamelodi Sundowns are out of the CAF Champions League after a 1-1 second-leg draw with Wiliete. Wiliete advanced on aggregate across the two matches to reach the group stage, leaving Sundowns' continental run over for the season.

Second-leg goals

Chivili Mathews put Sundowns ahead in the 11th minute. Mabululu scored for Wiliete in the 49th minute to make it 1-1.

Aggregate outcome

The first leg was goalless. Wiliete went through across the two matches after the draw in the second leg.

Confederation Cup pathway removed

GOAL reported that the Confederation of African Football scrapped the play-off that once handed Champions League casualties a route into the Confederation Cup. GOAL reported that under the new system, the 16 clubs that win the second preliminary round of the Confederation Cup qualify straight to the group stage.

No further continental route

There are no extra matches against teams knocked out of the Champions League. That leaves Sundowns with no way into the Confederation Cup and their continental run over this season.
