Stellenbosch FC and Simba S.C platers in action.
Stellenbosch FC will have to stage a fightback in the CAF Confederation Cup semi-final second leg match.
Stellies went 1-nil down to continental powerhouse Simba S.C. of Tanzania earlier on Sunday afternoon.
This was a very historic match for both sides who are aiming to reach their maiden final in continental football. The second leg encounter will be played in Cape Town next Sunday to produce a side that will advance to the final of this season’s final.

Stellies sent shockwaves across the African continent after defeating defending champions Zamalek 1-nil in the quarter-finals in Cairo, Egypt, earlier this month.
Simba are coached by South African-born Fadlu Davids.
The home homeside scored the only goal of the match on the stroke of half-time through midfielder Jean Charles Ahoua.
But the goal only stood after the VAR check by the referee.
Down, but not out.
