Mamelodi Sundowns have been drawn against Angola's Wiliete SC in the second qualifying round of the CAF Champions League, after the Angolan club eliminated Seychelles outfit Foresters FC from the competition.
Wiliete, who finished second in the Girabola last season, secured their place in the CAFCL qualifiers on the back of that league performance. Their squad includes former Orlando Pirates winger Gilberto, one of several key figures who contributed to the club's first-round campaign.
