AFRICAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2016

 

A penalty deep into stoppage time from Katlego Mashego helped South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns beat Zimbabwe's Chicken Inn 2:1 on aggregate to reach the next round of the African Champions League on Saturday.

Before Mashego's strike, the tie was level at 1:1 and was heading towards a penalty shoot-out after Wayne Arendse's first half goal for the hosts.

Mashego slotted in the dramatic penalty after the lively Khama Billiat was brought down in the box.

Sundowns will next face Congolese side AC Leopards.
