Mamelodi Sundowns have crashed out of the FIFA Club World Cup as they failed to win their do-or-die clash with Fluminense on Wednesday in Miami playing out their final group game to a goalless draw. The Brazilian outfit along with Borussia Dortmund qualified from Group F for the knockout rounds. Sundowns will be hurting after coming so close and blowing a golden opportunity to make it through to the next phase. Was it Tashreeq Matthews early miss against Fluminense that cost the team, or Ronwen Williams gaffe against Dortmund or perhaps poor in game management by Miguel Cardoso? And what next for the club...

Hosts: Zayn Nabbi and Courtney Freese (Former PSL Winner)
