Mamelodi Sundowns draw Zamalek in Caf Champions League

The draw of the Caf Champions League group stages conducted on Tuesday in Cairo was unkind to Mamelodi Sundowns as they found themselves in Group A with the big boys.

Sundowns were reinstated in the Champions League in place of AS Vita, who were found to have breached the rules by fielding an ineligible player in the group qualifiers.
