• CAF has released its Champions League Team of the Week after the fourth round of matches in the group stages
• Mamelodi Sundowns' Lyle Lakay is the only South African player in the selection of players who impressed this past weekend
• He stars in a team that is dominated by players from North Africa, with seven players spread across CR Belouizdad, ES Tunis, Wydad Casablanca and ES Setif

Following Mamelodi Sundowns' historic double over Al Ahly, Lyle Lakay has been named in the CAF Champions League week for the second consecutive week.

As reported by KickOff, Sundowns all but ensured their progression to the next round of the CAF Champions League after downing reigning Africa champions Al Ahly for the second time this season at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.

Masandawana emerged 1-0 victors following a 23rd-minute goal from Namibia international Peter Shalulile but it was the performance of in-form full-back Lyle Lakay, who assisted the goal, that caught the eye on the evening.
