Kohler's side were outplayed in every area of the pitch on Saturday afternoon at the Loftus Versveld Stadium.
Despite goals from Mohamed Sherif and Percy Tau, there was nothing the Egyptians could do to stop a rampant Sundowns side as they booked their place in the quarter finals, while Al Ahly's fate is yet to be decided.
After the game, the Swiss coach was full of compliments for the Chloorkop-based outfit and tipped them to win their first Champions League title since 2016.
"Yes, Sundowns with this coach and this team can go all the way in the tournament. They have a very good team. The coach prepared them very well and they earned the victory," he told journalists.
"I think if they focus and keep their concentration, they will go far in this tournament."
Following their win on Saturday, Sundowns now sit atop group B with 10 points, while Al Ahly occupy third place with four points.
