Mamelodi Sundowns can secure their place in the last 16 of the Club World Cup with a win over Borussia Dortmund this afternoon.
Mamelodi beat Ulsan 1-0 in their Group F opener and another three points would see them through – as well as provide a major shot in the arm for African football.
Dortmund drew their first match, 0-0 with Fluminense on Tuesday, but maintained their unbeaten record that now stands at eight games. Their last defeat came on April 9 against Barcelona in the Champions League.
