Andile Jali has been selected for the CAF Champions League Team of the Week following his superb performance against Wydad Casablanca.
The Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder, who is slowly regaining his old form, held his own against a tough Wydad side in Morocco on Saturday and pulled off one of his best performances since arriving at Chloorkop last season.
The 29-year-old Jali was also named man of the match in Sundowns' 2-1 Absa Premiership win at Golden Arrows two weeks ago.
