• RS Berkane 1-0 FAR Rabat [Agg: 1-2]

Mamelodi Sundowns will face Morocco’s FAR Rabat in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League final following decisive second leg matches in the semi-finals.

The Brazilians, home to Uganda Cranes veteran goalkeeper Denis Onyango beat Tunisia’s Esperance 1-0 to seal a home and away with Brayan Leone scoring the winner like he did in the first league in Rades.

The 2-nil aggregate win takes them to a fourth final but only looking for a second title after one won in 2016.

FAR Rabat, the Moroccan side lost 1-0 to RS Berkane in the Moroccan derby but went on to qualify for the final after a 2-1 aggregate win.

The Moroccan side’s first-leg advantage ultimately proved decisive, as Yassine Lebhiri’s second-half penalty gave Berkane victory on the night but fell short of overturning the deficit from Rabat.

The Rabat-based club were the 1984/85 champions of the previous Champions Cup but have not won the competition since it become known as the CAF Champions League.

As it stands [TOP FOUR]

What are the remaining fixtures?

There are seven Premier League matches remaining, with those involving the four title contenders still in.

KCCA will host Vipers, and Kitara will host SC Villa, matches that could be strongly decisive in the race.

In the remaining matches, Vipers face three sides in the top seven in Entebbe UPPC, KCCA and Police, one in the bottom two in Buhimba United Saints.

Second-placed KCCA has relatively easier fixtures if their league positions are considered with only Vipers and Entebbe UPPC in the top five.

Kitara has the most home matches, four, with the rest having three and face only Villa and NEC in the top six.

Villa’s tough run-in includes matches away to Kitara, relegation-fighting Mbarara City and Lugazi away as well as a tough match against BUL at home.

Top Four’s remaining fixtures

Impact of other competitions

At the moment, three of the four teams remaining in the title race are also in the semifinal of the Uganda Cup.

Prior to matchday 22, all four were in action in the quarterfinal of the competition, but at the moment, KCCA is out.

Vipers, Kitara and Villa will have to navigate two ties in the semi-finals in between league matches, and this could have an impact.

And those who will qualify for the final will have an extra game in the season. Squeaky bum time it is!
