45' HALF-TIME 
20:16
43' Time stopped as medics attend to Bongani Sam ...
20:13
41' Screams from Komphela on the touchline as he urges his outfit to attack Sundowns
20:07
36' CHANCE! Mahlambi has a go at goal following a free-kick but his effort just dips over the crossbar ...
20:06

32' Sundowns attack and Jali finds Langerman with a superb long-pass, but Langerman fails to get it past the keeper.

It's good to have Jali back. A fit Jali can be dangerous.
20:04
30' Celtic 0-0 Sundowns
19:59

24' SAVE! Celtic have a chance to take the lead against the run of play, but Mabena goes for glory and it is saved. 

Mabena could have easily passed. Plenty of green shirts available ...
19:58
22' Vilakazi now on the wing, a position he is not often familiar with but Mosimane is using the player on the left wing despite having Lyle Lakay on the bench. 
19:56
20' Gordinho has been a busy fella so far dealing with shots from Kekana while coping with Mahlambi and Silva upfront ... so far so good
19:53
18' Celtic slowly seeing more of the ball now and putting in a few good passes. Finding their tempo. Could turn into a decent spell for them if they remain patient.
19:49
15' CHANCE! Kekana picks up a loose ball following a corner kick and the midfielder looks up and pull the trigger. Tignyemb stretches and palms the ball away ..
19:48
14' Interesting but typical Komphela as his side sits deep. Sundowns continue to probe ...
19:43

11' CHANCE! Sundowns come close after a mistake by De Jongh, but Silva hits the woodwork with his shot.

Fantastic effort ...
19:42

8' As expected Sundowns controlling things in midfield with Kekana and Jali dictating things.

Mahlambi and Silva teaming well upfront too ...
19:41
5' The first corner go Sundowns' way and it is easily cleared by Celtic.
19:41
3' Sundowns produce the first attack and come close before Silva is adjudged offside.
19:39
1' First half is underway ...

Komphela will be targeting a return to winning ways after Maritzburg United handed their former coach his first loss in charge of Phunya Sele Sele last time out, when they emerged 1-0 victors at Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium.
14:14
Steve Komphela has done an admirable job since replacing Veselin Jelusic at the helm during the off-season, guiding Celtic to four wins in their opening six encounters.
14:14
Masandawana are down in seventh position, but have three games in hand over Wits, who are just three points ahead of fourth-placed Siwelele following their 2-0 win over Cape Town City on Tuesday.
14:13
AmaZulu came close to beating Sundowns a fortnight ago, but Sibusiso Vilakazi scored a late equaliser to rescue a 3-3 draw. A 1-0 win over Golden Arrows three days later halted a run of six matches without a win in all competitions.
14:13
Pitso Mosimane's side had to juggle domestic and African commitments in August but can now focus on challenging the front-runners back home after failing to make it past the CAF Champions League group stages.
