Ligue des champions africaine : Le tenant du titre, Mamelodi Sundowns, tombe dès les préliminaires
This is a huge surprise in the race for the 2026-2027 CAF Champions League. Mamelodi Sundowns, the defending champions, were eliminated in the second preliminary round by Wiliete SC of Angola, after a close encounter between the two teams.
The South Africans had hoped to continue their continental adventure. After a goalless draw (0-0) in the first leg, the Brazilians had the opportunity to make the difference in front of their home crowd in the return match. But despite this home advantage, they failed to secure qualification.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw, a result that ultimately benefited Wiliete SC. Thanks to their away goal, the Angolan club gained the upper hand over their opponent and secured their place in the next round, according to the away goals rule applied in this encounter.
For Mamelodi Sundowns, this premature exit represents a huge disappointment, given the high expectations surrounding the South African club. Wiliete SC, on the other hand, achieved a resounding upset by eliminating a team accustomed to major African tournaments. The Angolan club can now continue its continental dream with the ambition of reaching the group stage.
