Sundowns fixture brought forward after CCL exit

Published on

Mamelodi Sundowns’ Absa Premiership fixture against AmaZulu has been brought forward after they were eliminated from the Caf Champions League.

The Brazilians crashed out of the African continental competition last Tuesday after playing out to a goalless draw against Guinea outfit Horoya, which saw them finish third in Group C on six points.

Following the exit, AmaZulu confirmed that their league encounter against Sundowns will be played next week.

‘AmaZulu’s Absa Premiership home fixture against Mamelodi Sundowns has been brought forward to 16 September by PSL following a change in the Brazilian’s continental commitments. The match will be played at King Zwelithini Stadiums,’ AmaZulu confirmed on their official website.

‘The fixture was initially scheduled to be played on 20 February. Last season’s meeting between the two sides was the subject of much fanfare in both home and away rounds.

‘AmaZulu won 2-1 at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in the first round, while Sundowns came out 3-1 victors at the King Zwelithini Stadium.’
