After a 1-0 win over Ulsan Hyndai which put them top of Group F, Mamelodi Sundowns will secure their last 16 spot at the FIFA Club World Cup if they pull off a shock win over German giants Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
Mamelodi Sundowns are the first African club to claim all three points from a match at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Masandawana produced a 1-0 victory over South Korean side Ulsan Hyndai on Tuesday evening at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
Niko Kovač's side drew 0-0 to Fluminense in their opening game, producing a less than inspired performance. Sundowns' win over Ulsan was more convincing than the scoreline suggests, with goalscorer Iqraam Rayners seeing two more goals disallowed and Miguel Cardoso's men commanding 68% of the possession.
