The two African champions went at each other in a thrilling 2-2 draw in a match that had both sides retake the lead from each other.
On the form, Sundowns forward Peter Shalulile opened the scoring for the visitors in the 34th minute, calmly slotting home Cassius Mailula's cross to end the first half with the lead.
The Red Devils fought back after the restart and levelled matters in the 50th minute with Mohammed Abdelmonem heading home a free header.
The home side then took the lead through Hussein El Shahat in the 74th minute, but Masandawana levelled through Thapelo Morena with ten minutes to go.
The draw takes Sundowns top of the log on seven points but remains unbeaten even though their winning streak comes to an end.
