00:00in the group stages for the very first time in the relatively short history of

00:06Maniama Union founded less than 20 years ago 2005 and here they are rubbing

00:17shoulders with some of the giants of African football they're the only team

00:23in the draw in Luanda took Maniama Union to this very phase we are underway

00:29group B is underway sundowns I am they will swing this in for sundowns and it

00:49goes decent delivery and an important head on it as well and sundowns have

01:00what a referee forward for Maniama not once but twice have their name on the

01:11board that's nice play behind these fours a really good save as well and

01:14Fungi called into action and the first real strike of the game it was precise

01:23as well stepped up tried his luck from distance around the corner two men in

01:31the middle for sundowns that's a really important bit of goalkeeping as well

01:35Allende can he open the scoring latched over from the Chilean well a Fungi did

01:42really well to cut out the cross which was into a dangerous area and eventually

01:46the ball spilled to Marcelo Allende he just couldn't keep it down this was the

01:55touch and then the skipper could only find Allende sat up nicely for him just

02:02took it a fraction early two goals in the second round he doesn't shoot instead

02:10he plays it around the corner it'll be a corner to sundowns Morena just

02:17couldn't get on the end of it when he had me fooled because I thought he was

02:20going to be striking for goal in the end that was really good defensive play from

02:26a Kitambala the swing in our super safe and super effort as well Fungi tipping

02:38over that fine strike from Teboho Mokwena what power he got what accuracy

02:44he got as well well we saw him do that at the Nations Cup earlier in the year

02:50Mokwena showing his prowess Maniema won't mind this is all in front of them

02:55at the moment Salas Ribeiro and Ribeiro just flashes that wide lovely build-up

03:01from sundowns good intricate play nice build-up and they just made ground and

03:08then when it went to Ribeiro when he dropped his shoulder went past one then

03:13two and the one two where's Salas lovely layoff for the Brazilian but sundowns do

03:22have a very very big squad Allende coming forward tries to curl it straight

03:26at a Fungi

03:30well he had the space Allende trying to just guide it in inside the right-hand

03:37post and a Fungi and then steaming in

03:56Allende as we are in the first of the two minutes of additional time

04:05well there goes the halftime whistle in an opening 45 minutes which sundowns

04:13the 2016 African champions have largely dominated against the team making their

04:19group phase debut and despite efforts from the likes of Lucas Ribeiro Unión

04:28but that unbeaten record is going to be seriously put to the test in the next 45

04:35minutes the games as said come thick and fast in into the area

04:47Maniema careful not to concede a foul it's gone loose at the back and a bit of

04:52panic in defense for Maniema and they're gonna have a corner to defend taken

04:58quickly strike a goal from Saavedra

05:04Ribeiro Allende trying to tear it up to Salas really important block strike a

05:09goal and just fizzed over Kodisang looking for his second of the campaign

05:22there's a really important challenge there from Kanu and then the ball came

05:27to Kodisang last in 2020 and on the charge here trying to force Williams

05:40interaction which so far they have simply failed to do Maniema look at that

05:46route one football at its best well that touch here made the opportunity and then

05:57it was a fairly horrendous effort in the end from Basiala round the back is

06:04this the moment Ribeiro look at that another really good block in defense

06:11from Maniema meaning that it is a corner and nothing more for sundowns a nice

06:25idea is there too much on it no because it's well kept in Kitambala can pick it

06:30up and what can he do an instant strike from Kitambala had just passed the post

06:35well we've seen so little of Maniema as an attacking unit and Kitambala has run

06:42and run feeding on scraps which this one almost was and the first touch enabled

06:51him to get his shot away and Williams was scrambling and mightily relieved to

06:58see that just drift wide of his right Morena nice ball around the corner

07:05Ribeiro back into Morena Morena strikes a goal they just didn't catch it but

07:11lovely interplay with a Brazilian Ribeiro and Morena just could not find the power or the

07:22proper connection amongst the goals for South Africa in the recent international

07:29break well this is exactly what the Sundowns coach feared set pieces in the

07:35height of Maniema lovely flick around the corner vital block to turn that

07:39behind for a corner Semete it was who just stuck out his right leg he did exactly that

07:51Maniema beginning to believe and it goes again and still hesitation against the crossbar

07:58and what they do even more damage here they can't they've got a corner

08:03frustration when it spilled and it was Kinder was it no Mwanda it was

08:16he really didn't need to thump it so hard from there but thump it he did

08:25what sort of free kick routine have we got this time around again it's inventive Ribeiro on the

08:28volley and it's just turned behind by the Maniema captain well they have got some inventive ideas

08:36from well that's it there is no time for more and Maniema Unio of the Democratic Republic of Congo

08:45to the delight of their coach Papi Kimoto have come to the home of the 2016 African Champions

08:52Mamelodi Sundowns in their first ever CAF Champions League group match and they have come

08:59away with a point as well they'll be absolutely delighted with that frustration for Sundowns

09:07they came close
