AFL: Why big changes to Downs vs Ahly were made 'revealed'
The reason why a couple of big changes were made for Mamelodi Sundowns' all-important African Champions League semi-final clash with Al Ahly has now reportedly been revealed.
They will go head to head in the first leg on Sunday, 29 October, with the return fixture being on Wednesday, 1 November. It is further claimed that the Egyptian giants also asked for the date of the second leg in Cairo to be changed from Wednesday to Thursday, but this was denied because there was reportedly no convincing reason given for the suggested postponement.
"Therefore, after the semi-final teams were determined, the dates were determined based on the appropriate conditions for the two teams to attend the fans."Al Ahly hold the upper hand historically, having beaten Sundowns four times, losing thrice and drawing on four occasions.
