Mamelodi Sundowns are in third place with three points after their dominant 4-0 win over CBE in the group’s opening match on Wednesday.

To secure their spot in the semifinals, Moses Aduku’s side will need at least a draw against Sundowns in their final group game on Saturday at Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca.

A loss to the defending champions would allow Masar to qualify, provided they beat the already-eliminated CBE.

After a surprising 1-0 loss to Masar in their opener, Sundowns bounced back with a commanding victory over CBE, keeping their title defense alive ahead of Saturday’s crucial showdown against Edo Queens.
