Egypt legend Mido has warned Egyptian giants Al Ahly about Mamelodi Sundowns ahead of their African Football League semi-final on Sunday.
Both Al Ahly and Sundowns advanced to the last four this week after overcoming Simba SC and Petro de Luanda respectively in the quarter-final round.

The two sides did meet in the CAF Champions League group stages last season, with Sundowns claiming a memorable 5-2 win at the FNB Stadium.
2006 Africa Cup of Nations winner Mido says the Brazilians have the tools to annoy any team on the continent.
"Sundowns is one of the teams with an identity on the continent of Africa and they have a very distinctive playing school," the former Tottenham Hotspur striker said on Al-Mehwar.
"No matter how many players Sundowns loses or if they change the coach, they have one playing philosophy. A team that is tired and annoying for any team.
"Sundowns is defending better this season than in previous years. [Teboho] Mokoena has improved greatly.
"Just as Al Ahly fans are worried about facing Sundowns, the fans of the South African team are more worried than the Al Ahly fans.
"Al Ahly can always, or most of the time, with its players and accumulated and personal experiences, overcome Sundowns, despite the difficulty of the confrontation."
