Mamelodi Sundowns have already secured over R200 million after their win against Ulsan HD on Wednesday morning.
Masandawana beat Ulsan HD 1-0 thanks to a goal by Iqraam Rayners to move to the top of Group F after Borussia Dortmund and Fluminense played out a goalless draw earlier.
As a consequence, Sundowns have earned R36 million for their first win in the group stages, while a draw would’ve earned them R18 million.
In addition, Sundowns and the other three African teams will receive a whopping R174 million in participation fees, meaning overall the Betway Premiership champions have already secured R210 million.
