Holders Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa were bundled out of ​the African Champions League in the ‌second preliminary round on Friday, beaten on the away goals rule by Wiliete from ​Angola.

The second leg at Loftus Versfeld ​in Pretoria finished 1-1 five days ⁠after the two sides had played ​out a goalless draw in Lubango ​in the first leg last Sunday.

Sundowns went ahead after 11 minutes through Tashreeq Matthews but ​Angola international Mabululu equalised four minutes ​into the second half.

Wiliete then produced a stout ‌rearguard ⁠action to reach the group phase for the first time.

The lineup for the next round, where 16 teams will ​be divided ​into four ⁠groups, will be decided on Sunday when the last of ​the preliminary round matches are ​played.

Sundowns ⁠qualified for the group phase in the previous 11 editions of the Champions ⁠League ​and their defeat ranks ​among the competition’s biggest shocks.
