With that, the side has finish the group stage phase with an impressive 14 points from six matches and go through to the quarter-finals undefeated.

For Mofokeng, it was only the second Man of the Match award following his standout performance that included the opening goal, before Gilberto added a second.

However, the match was not without controversy as the home side were denied an equaliser in the dying minutes after Rami Rabia was ruled offside.

Post-match, head coach Marcel Koller bemoaned the absence of VAR in the group stage, suggesting they were denied a legitimate goal.

Meanwhile, for a second consecutive Champions League encounter, The Brazilians needed the heroics of Peter Shalulile to earn a point and qualify for the quarterfinals after a 1-1 draw against AS FAR, who finished top of the group.

It was only a sixth goal across all competitions for the Namibian, who, by his high standards, has had an underwhelming campaign.

However, he has proven to be able to provide the goods when needed most, as it was his goal from the bench that helped the team come from behind to overcome Maniema Union the weekend before and keep their hopes in the competition alive.

Three wins from six matches were enough to hand Steve Barker's men a spot in the Last 16, finishing in second place, behind group winners Berkane, who breezed through without a single loss.
