The Moroccan side continued to push forward after their opener, but Onyango was proving to be inspired form yet again for Downs in the Champions League.

It looked as though the game would drift to the break with Wydad in the lead until Andile Ngcongca’s pounced on a rebound to fire Sundowns level with a diving header three minutes before the break.

Wydad came out firing in the second stanza and regained their lead one minute from the restart as Badie Aouk was in the right place to tap home a rebound after Onyango failed to hold onto the shot, which [proved to be the winner for the 2017 Caf Champions League winners.

Sundoowns know that they will only need a 1-0 win in their second leg clash next weekend in order to progress to the Caf Champions League final.
