CAF Champions League: Mamelodi Sundowns and ES Tunis Players Dominate Team of the Week

• CAF has released the Champions League's Team of the Week for the third round of group matches
• South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns and Tunisia's ES Tunis dominated the week's selection of the best players
• There were also players from surprise packages Amazulu, Al Merrikh, Atletico Petroleos, CR Belouizdad and Wydad AC

Africa's football governing body released the team on its social media outlets. The list of names did not come as a surprise to Champions League enthusiasts.

Goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene, right-back Rushine de Reuck and midfielder Lyle Lakay were the Brazilians' selections. This was after they turned over Al Ahly 1-0 in Cairo.

Defenders Hani Amamou, Amin Ben Hamda and midfielder Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane were picked from ES Tunis. The three were impressive as Tunis drew 0-0 away with Etoile Du Sahel.

Striker Kheireddine Merzougui was chosen from Algerian side Belouizdad. He struck twice as they sank Botswana's Janeng Galaxy 2-1 away.

The history-making Amazulu continued to impress in the tournament. In their inaugural campaign, Usuthu won their second consecutive match, a 1-0 victory via a Luvuyo Memela goal which saw him also get a nod.

Pedro Pinto was the other centre-back in the team. The Atletico Petroleos man stood out as they beat fellow Angolan side Sagrada Esperança 1-0.

Striker Zouhair El Moutaraji was Moroccan team Raja Casablanca. He was one of the scorers as they defeated Egyptian outfit Zamalek 3-1.

To round off the team, Al Merrikh defender Elsamani Saadeldin was the unlikely scorer of a brace the Sudanese team in a 2-1 over countrymen Al Hilal Club.
