Ugandan shot-stopper Dennis Onyango made it to the team of matchday 5 after helping his club Mamelodi Sundowns secure a spot in the quarter final of the CAF Champions league.
This was the second consecutive time the Uganda captain was named on the team of the matchday.
Onyango kept a clean-sheet and managed to make outstanding saves including a penalty from Salahdin Said at the stroke of halftime.
The reigning champions left it late to pick three vital points off Ethiopian champions, Saint George, in a hotly contested duel in a packed Addis Ababa Stadium on Saturday.
The goal was scored by Liberian Anthony Laffor who struck the lone goal of the tie four minutes from time. The result saw the ‘Brazilians’ book a quarter final place alongside Group C leaders Esperance, who held AS Vita 2-2 in Kinshasa.
Sundowns play AS Vita in their last group stage game at home next weekend, while leaders Esperance will host Saint George.
Mamelodi remain focused on their aim for CAF success after missing out on the league to Bidvest Wits by 3 points.
