00:00 It's going to be Young Africans to take the first kick in the shootout.
00:05 A place in the semi-finals at stake here.
00:11 Now, Stéphane Aziz-Kit.
00:24 He thought he had put Young Africans ahead on the hour mark with that shot,
00:30 which at the same end of the pitch, as he's about to take this penalty,
00:34 struck the underside of the crossbar and bounced partly over the line, but not entirely.
00:41 It is he who takes the first penalty here up against Ronwyn Williams.
00:45 And Williams saves it!
00:51 The man with the formidable track record of stopping penalties
00:56 denies Stéphane Aziz-Kit with the first kick in the shootout here tonight.
01:15 Milan, Sundown, Hammerholm, their advantage here. Marcelo Allende is up first for them.
01:21 Allende against Gigi Diarra.
01:37 And Allende scores, rifling it high into the top corner.
01:42 Superbly dispatched by the Chilean.
01:45 Next up for Young Africans, Augustin Okra.
02:01 On as a substitute.
02:05 On as a substitute.
02:07 The Galleon, and he scores.
02:20 This time he sends Ronwyn Williams the wrong way.
02:23 That gives Young Africans hope here.
02:32 Coming forward for Mamelodi Sundown's Gaston Sirino.
02:37 Brought on as a second-half substitute.
02:40 Longer run-up for Sirino, to maintain the advantage.
02:58 His penalty is saved by Gigi Diarra.
03:02 And it's 1-1 after two penalties apiece.
03:10 Wasn't far enough into the corner, it gave the Young Africans goalkeeper
03:16 the chance to make the save.
03:25 And so it's all square.
03:28 Ronwyn Williams has been a penalty-saving hero
03:47 on so many occasions in the past.
03:50 Already with one save in this shootout.
03:54 Chance for Young Africans to seize the advantage
03:57 and Williams saves again.
03:59 He can't help himself.
04:03 Diving to his right.
04:07 And he's got it.
04:15 And he's got it.
04:17 And he's got it.
04:19 And he's got it.
04:23 And Dixon Job is the second player out of three
04:27 for Young Africans in this shootout to fail.
04:32 So Cam Mamelodi Sundown's press home their advantage
04:41 for a second time.
04:46 The Brazilian Lucas Ribeiro, their top scorer
04:49 in all competitions this season.
04:52 Struggled to really make an impact on the game itself
05:03 up against a well-organised Young Africans defence.
05:06 But he scores his penalty, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.
05:13 Well, that was confidently struck from the Brazilian
05:17 for the Brazilians.
05:19 2-1 after three penalties apiece.
05:25 And now it is Joseph Guede stepping forward
05:31 for Young Africans.
05:33 And he's got it.
05:37 And he's got it.
05:39 young Africans. Score of a big goal in their win against Shabaab Belouizdad
05:54 which helped them make it through from their group in traumatic circumstances
05:58 and he scores his penalty.
06:07 And he comes across to offer a word of encouragement for his goalkeeper Jiggy
06:13 Tiara. Waited for Ronwyn Williams to make the move. Belouizdad in the shootout.
06:21 Neil Maima stepping forward for Suntowns the second half substitute.
06:28 And Maima scores and what a brilliant penalty that was high into the net again.
06:48 Jiggy Tiara went the right way but he couldn't reach it.
06:55 Fantastic penalty from Maima. And now on to the young Africans therefore have to
07:04 score this. Ibrahim Hamad Tanzanian international defender. Stepping up
07:13 against Ronwyn Williams. If he fails to score
07:21 Mamalodi Sundowns will be through to the semi-finals.
07:26 Hamad against Williams and he puts it over the par. Williams doesn't need to
07:35 make the save. Mamalodi Sundowns are through to the
07:40 semi-finals of the Champions League. They have beaten young Africans on penalties
07:45 at the end of a tense evening here in Pretoria. They were the favorites coming
07:54 into this tie by a long way really. They couldn't confirm that status either in
08:02 the first leg last week or in the return tonight. No goals across the two games
08:08 but they've had the edge in the shootout. Ronwyn Williams with two saves from
08:14 young Africans. First four penalties and then Ibrahim Hamad putting their fifth
08:18 kick over the bar.
08:21 He was fully aware as soon as he made the connection of where that ball was
08:31 heading. Sundowns win 3-2 in the shootout. It's been a valiant effort from young
08:36 Africans last season's runners-up in the Confederation Cup making it out of their
08:40 group in the Champions League for the first time but unable to take the extra
08:45 step here. Mamalodi Sundowns, the winners of the African Football League in
08:49 November, march on once again to the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League.
09:06 Agony for the visitors from Tanzania who performed gamely across the two games.
