The controversy is already heating up. On social networks, many are pointing the finger at Mauritanian referee Dahane Beida, who officiated the second leg of the semi-final between Young Africa and Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria. The Tanzanians lost on penalties (3-2) after a 0-0 draw in regulation time, as in the first leg in Dar-Es-Salam.
However, they could have won the return leg (1-0). In any case, they seem to have scored a valid goal. A heavy shot from Burkina Faso's Aziz Ki hit the bar, bounced back off the line and out. The referee did not award the goal and VAR did not correct it. Fans of the Tanzanian club feel aggrieved and express their feelings on social networks.
