Mamelodi Sundowns. What was previously a completely unknown entity to European football fans, could now really make a name for itself. The South African champions are currently playing in the Club World Cup against none other than Borussia Dortmund and are giving BVB a real headache.
The Sundowns are the better team in the initial phase of the second group game and have even taken a 1:0 lead. And that with great help from Dortmund. Lucas Ribeiro went through the Borussen defense without resistance and was allowed to push in for the 1:0. Ribeiro started in his own half.
And suddenly the Brazilian was completely alone in front of Gregor Kobel and pushed in. A catastrophic lapse from the BVB defense.
But a gift was also distributed on the other side. Mamelodi goalkeeper Ronwen Williams was passed the ball in his own box and what followed was an absolute blackout.
🤯 HORROR SHOW FOR THE SUNDOWNS GOALKEEPER.

He pushed the ball unpressured to Felix Nmecha’s feet, who only had to push it into the empty goal. What a crazy game.
Have the Dortmund team averted the embarrassment and can now take over the reins? Currently, it is still an evenly matched game. Is there even a mega sensation in the air?
