- Wiliete advanced to the group stage on away goals after the two legs ended 1-1, with the first leg finishing scoreless in Angola.
- Tashreek Matthews put Sundowns ahead in the 11th minute before Cristóvão Maboulolo equalized for Wiliete in the 49th.
- The exit ends Sundowns' record run of consecutive group-stage appearances dating to 2015-16, a streak shared with Al Ahly, according to OptaJabu.
- Sundowns had won the 2025-26 title against Morocco's AS FAR (Royal Army), and CAF's new format abolishing the Confederation Cup playoff ends their continental campaign.
