Mamelodi Sundowns suffered a 2-1 loss on Saturday against Wydad AC at the Stade Mohammed stadium in Morocco. Sundowns fans will definitely say "It's always Wydad" as the two sides always display world class football whenever they face each other. The first leg of the African football league Final displayed a tactical masterclass from both sides as both sides pressed each other to make mistakes but Wydad came out with a victory against Masandawana. 

The two sides will meet again on Sunday to conclude the second leg of the African Football league. The match will be played at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. The 13-time league champions will be looking to overturn the first leg score line to clinch a victory on home ground.  There is a lot of lessons that were learned from both sides, let's see what happens when the two sides meet again. 

The proteas lost to India in the Cricket World Cup as India won by a total of 243 runs while South Africa secured 83 runs in the game. India displayed dominance in the game as South Africans would say "ratla ra bethiwa mola shem" which translates to "we really got a beating". On a positive note, South Africa are through to the semi-finals where they will face Afghanistan on Friday, the 10th of November.
