90' Three minutes of stoppage time added on ...
03 Oct 2018
86' Another chance for Celtic from a dead ball situation but a bit of confusion sees many players mess up the intended training drill free-kick as the ball is hit over the crossbar.
03 Oct 2018
84' Meza does well on the left flank and dummies a Celtic defender before he swings in a searching cross, Maboe gets a toe-poke on it and controls it before he puts it in the back of the net. But Zwane, who is offside, does not interfere with play seems to have been to close to the ball and the official waves his flag.

83' GOOOOAAAALLLLL .... No, no goal! Disallowed
03 Oct 2018
80' Zwane comes on for Jali ...
Pitso using all his substitutes at his disposal

77' Meza replaces Silva for Sundowns ...

Meanwhile, Celtic have brought on Letsoalo to replace Kabelo Dlamini.
03 Oct 2018
72' CHANCE! Time and time again it proves that players in the league lack composure in front of goal as Potsane, who is in acres of space and darts forward. Onyango comes off his line and out the penalty area. Potsane pulls the trigger and sees his low shot go way wide. Should have done better.
03 Oct 2018
Meanwhile, Nascimento takes one for Sundowns and he is forced to foul a Celtic attacker and is booked.
03 Oct 2018
69' CHANCE! Celtic moving well in between the gaps as they probe and search for a goal and Mabaso pulls the trigger but Onyango makes a brilliant save.

57' Substitute (Celtic): Mabena off - Tebogo Potsane on
03 Oct 2018
53' Strangely, Celtic have begun the second-half exactly the way they started the first-half ... Slow and cautious. Not helping their cause as Sundowns continue to probe
03 Oct 2018
50' Sundowns really threatening Celtic here as they build patiently and make their way to the penalty area, but Jali hesitates and takes too long to offload to Langerman.
They will rue that ...
03 Oct 2018
47' CHANCE! Woah ... Mahlambi darts pass a few green shirts before his shot ricochets off a defender and nearly lands in the back of the net.
Celtic clearly sleeping, hopefully they are awake after that scare ... Sundowns are up for it!
03 Oct 2018
46' No substitutes on either side ...

03 Oct 2018
36' CHANCE! Mahlambi has a go at goal following a free-kick but his effort just dips over the crossbar ...
03 Oct 2018
32' Sundowns attack and Jali finds Langerman with a superb long-pass, but Langerman fails to get it past the keeper.
It's good to have Jali back. A fit Jali can be dangerous.
03 Oct 2018
30' Celtic 0-0 Sundowns
03 Oct 2018
24' SAVE! Celtic have a chance to take the lead against the run of play, but Mabena goes for glory and it is saved.
Mabena could have easily passed. Plenty of green shirts available ...
03 Oct 2018
22' Vilakazi now on the wing, a position he is not often familiar with but Mosimane is using the player on the left wing despite having Lyle Lakay on the bench.
03 Oct 2018
20' Gordinho has been a busy fella so far dealing with shots from Kekana while coping with Mahlambi and Silva upfront ... so far so good
03 Oct 2018
18' Celtic slowly seeing more of the ball now and putting in a few good passes. Finding their tempo. Could turn into a decent spell for them if they remain patient.
03 Oct 2018
15' CHANCE! Kekana picks up a loose ball following a corner kick and the midfielder looks up and pull the trigger. Tignyemb stretches and palms the ball away ..
03 Oct 2018
14' Interesting but typical Komphela as his side sits deep. Sundowns continue to probe ...
03 Oct 2018
11' CHANCE! Sundowns come close after a mistake by De Jongh, but Silva hits the woodwork with his shot.
Fantastic effort ...
03 Oct 2018
8' As expected Sundowns controlling things in midfield with Kekana and Jali dictating things.
Mahlambi and Silva teaming well upfront too ...
