In Summary

It will be the first if four matches to be played tonight in various venues.

Mamelodi Sundowns are dreaming of a major upset when they take on one of Europe's finest, Germany's Borussia Dortmund in their second Club World Cup match tonight, kick off 7 PM Kenyan time.

It will be the first if four matches to be played tonight in various venues.

Their 1-0 win over Ulsan HD in their first match was gritty and composed, with Iqraam Rayners once again stepping up as the talisman. Rayners has become the face of a team that knows how to endure.

"This is fantastic. What it means is that we, as a club, fight for the rights that we acquired to compete against the best in the world. We see it as an opportunity to test ourselves against the best ones. We have proved that we are the best ones in Africa," said Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso.

"We beat a strong team from Asia, now we have an opportunity to fight against one of the strongest teams from Europe. So let’s go for it with all the energy and the pleasure, but also the strictness of a tactical approach."

Borussia Dortmund arrive with European scars but burning ambition.

A season that veered from disjointed to dangerous saw them finish fourth in the Bundesliga and suffer a bruising UCL exit at the hands of Barcelona.

Yet they remain a formidable unit. They drew 0-0 with Brazil's Fluminese in their opener and will know a win is absolutely necessary for their ambitions to fly.

Four matches will be played tonight in various venues across the United States.
