Mamelodi Sundowns set to face Rulani Mokwena in CAFCL group stage

Sudanese outfit Al Hilal complete Group C but all eyes will be on Mokwena when he faces his former club with his Algeria team.

Lupopo knocked out the Buccaneers on penalties in the preliminary round after a thrilling 6-6 draw over two legs and will now return to South Africa during the group stage.

Pirates' elimination means Sundowns will be the only South African side in the continent's biggest club tournament this season.

Defending champions from Egypt, Pyramids FC, were drawn in Group A alongside RS Berkane, Rivers United and Power Dynamos.
