Only the top two sides from each of the four groups will progress to the quarter-finals.

The Brazilians only need a point to make mathematically sure of progressing to the next phase.

Their progression may well have already been decided 24 hours before kick-off when Al-Merrikh host Al Ahly in Group A’s other match on Friday, 18 March at 18:00 SA time.
