This is a repeat of last year’s quarter-final tie which saw the Moroccans win after a penalty shoot-out following a 1-1 aggregate draw. Wydad went on to win the trophy at the expense of Egyptian giants Al Ahly. The Caf Champions League trophy is very close to both teams, and it’s for this reason that both sets of fans in Tshwane should expect nothing but fireworks. Sundowns won it in 2016, and they were bundled out in the quarter-finals by Wydad the following year....
The Japanese side recorded a hard-fought 2-1 win over Auckland City to book their ticket for the quarter-finals, with Kanazaki netting an 88th-minute winner to send his side through, and they once more struggled early on. Nevertheless, goalkeeper Hitoshi Sogahata put in a fine performance to keep Kashima’s chances alive and Endo and Kanazaki eventually made the difference at the other end after the break. Mamelodi were in charge right from the off and they got a fine chance to open the scoring in the 13th minute when Khama Billiat sent Thapelo Morena clean through on goal, the defender forcing Sogahata into a strong save....

Kompany suffered the latest in a succession of calf injuries during Belgium’s 9-0 win over Gibraltar in August and has missed City’s last 11 games in all competitions. Guardiola told a news conference ahead of Saturday’s Premier League trip to West Brom he expects the 31-year-old centre-back to return to action after the November international break.

City put Arsenal to the sword 3-0 at Wembley on Sunday, securing a first trophy under Guardiola’s reign in dominant fashion. De Bruyne has been the star of City’s march towards the Premier League title, but it was old favourites Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva who got the goals at Wembley.

Man City will suffer from Chelsea fall-out Pep Guardiola’s men could not believe their luck when Gary Cahill acrobatically opened the scoring for them before half-time. However, they were powerless to resist the Blues’s fightback in the second half as Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard led an impressive comeback.
