Aubrey Modiba’s curling free-kick in the 37th minute at Loftus Versfeld last Sunday gave Sundowns the lead they deserved after controlling 71 percent of possession, and Miguel Cardoso’s side now need only to avoid defeat in Rabat to claim their second CAF Champions League title and deliver a continental triumph that would define this extraordinary season.

The atmosphere inside the sold-out Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium is electric, with tens of thousands of Moroccan supporters creating a wall of noise that confirms why AS FAR have lost just three home games in this competition since 2005.

AS FAR must score at least once to keep the tie alive: a one-goal home win sends the match to extra time, while anything larger would deliver the trophy to Rabat and deny Sundowns a second continental star.

Fallou Mendy returns to the AS FAR defensive lineup after missing the first leg through injury, which gives Alexandre Santos a more settled and experienced central defensive pairing to organise an attack that will be considerably more ambitious than what was seen in Pretoria.

For Sundowns, Grant Kekana is back from suspension to partner Khulumani Ndamane at the heart of the defence, and Brayan León leads the attack knowing that a single away goal would end the contest entirely and deliver a second CAF Champions League star to Chloorkop.
