CAF Champions League: Sundowns lead at halftime against MCA

CAF Champions League / Mamelodi Sundowns 1 - 0 MC Alger: the Doyen provisionally knocked out!

MC Alger find themselves with their backs against the wall at halftime against Mamelodi Sundowns, in this decisive 6th round of the CAF Champions League group stage. Trailing 1-0, the Algiers side are provisionally eliminated and must mount a response after the break if they hope to keep their quarter-final qualification dreams alive.

The South Africans struck early, with Grant Kekana opening the scoring in the 6th minute, before dictating the tempo throughout a first half marked by clear dominance in possession and territorial control.

On their end, MCA mainly tried to hold firm, looking to catch Sundowns out with quick transitions. But now, one thing is certain: the Doyen must find an equaliser quickly if they want to stay alive in this 2025/2026 campaign.
