Sundowns had a superior head to head record in the last six matches between the two teams prior to this match.
The Brazilians won four times as opposed to their opponents who won twice, although the five-times champions Mazembe won the the previous encounter in Lubumbashi in the first Group A match.
The two former champions had already qualified for the quarterfinals with a game to spare, but the stakes were still high since they were both playing for the top position in the group.
