Mamelodi Sundowns secured a huge 1-0 win over Esperance in the first leg of the CAF Champions League semi-final outing staged in Tunis on Sunday night.
Brayan Leon scored the lone goal of the game to hand the Premier Soccer League heavyweights victory in North Africa. However, Grant Kekana was sent off for a professional foul that will see him miss the second leg in Mzansi on Saturday, April 18.
