South Africa’s (SA) Mamelodi Sundowns have secured a narrow but crucial advantage in their Confederation of African Football (CAF) Champions League semifinal after a disciplined 1-0 away win over Espérance in Tunisia.

The Brazilians showed resilience under sustained pressure and finished the match with 10 men but held firm to claim a valuable result on the road.

Head coach Miguel Cardoso says the focus now shifts to managing the second leg at home, with a place in the final firmly within reach after the hard-fought away performance.
