Mamelodi Sundowns edged closer to a spot in the CAF Women's Champions League semi-finals after defeating Nigeria's Rivers Angels on Tuesday evening.
Jerry Tshabalala's charges got their campaign off to a winning start on Saturday after defeating Vihiga Queens FC while Rivers Angels suffered a 3-0 defeat to ASFAR.
The South African champions got the breakthrough on 17 minutes, with captain Zanele Nhlapo finding the back of the net from a corner situation.
There was a chance for Sundowns to double their lead 10 minutes when Rhoda Mulaudzi's cross found Andisiwe Mgcoyi in the box, but the latter saw her flick sail over the crossbar.
Tshabalala's troops had a few more sights at goal in the closing stages of the first half, but none of them were able to trouble Angels goalkeeper Charlotte Adjei.
The chances continued to fall at both ends after the halftime break as both Mulaudzi and Mgcoyi forced Adjie into saves while Sundowns goalkeeper Asa Rabalao was also called into action in the early stages of the second stanza.
The Nigerian outfit did throw bodies forward in search of an equaliser in the closing stages of the encounter, but Sundowns' defence remained firm and held out for the win.
