Kaizer Chiefs have three stars who attracted recognition from the Confederation of African Football for their displays in their Champions League quarterfinal against Simba.
Chiefs romped to a 4-0 victory in their first leg knockout tie against the Tanzanian outfit, with Erick Mathoho, Samir Nurkovic and Leonardo Castro all getting on the scoresheet.
The trio have now been included in the CAF Team of the Week for their impressive performances, and are the only South African representatives after Mamelodi Sundowns went down 2-0 to Al Ahly.

Mathoho netted his third goal of the competition, while Nurkovic opened his account with a brace and an assist in Saturday's encounter.
Castro, who won the tournament with Sundowns in 2016, scored his second of the current campaign and took his continental goal tally to six – four of which were scored during his time with the Tshwane giants.
Joining them in the TOTW are three players from CR Belouizdad, two from Al Ahly, two from Wydad Atheltic Club and one from MC Alger.
Amakhosi are set to travel to Dar es Salaam on Thursday ahead of Saturday afternoon's return leg at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium (kick-off set for 15h00).
