Mamelodi Sundowns were left frustrated after they were held to a 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal in the Caf Champions League Group B encounter at the Al-Hilal Stadium on Saturday.

Khuliso Mudau capitalised on a free-kick rebound to put Sundowns ahead in the 67th minute, and Mohamed Abdelrahman equalised five minutes later after dispossessing Williams.

Abdelrahman would have normally taken the penalty, but he had been substituted, leaving El Tahir to cover his face with his hands after missing a golden opportunity.

Kabylie, whose last of two Champions League titles came in 1990, advanced from Group A with a 1-0 victory over 2022 semifinalists Petro Luanda of Angola in the 90th minute.

Wydad will advance to the round of 16 for the eighth consecutive season after drawing V Club of the Democratic Republic of the Congo 0-0 on the road in the same group.

In Group C, Simba’s 7-0 victory over Horoya of Guinea fell one goal short of tying the record for largest victory margin in a group match.

Clatous Chama scored three goals to lead Dar es Salaam to victory, while Jean Baleke and Sadio Kanoute each scored two.

Four years ago, TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of the Congo broke the record for the largest margin of victory by defeating the Tunisian visitors Club Africain 8-0.
