CAF CL: Mamelodi Sundowns wins the first leg against AS FAR

A stroke of genius by Modiba to clarify the situation
At home and carried by his thousands of supporters, Mamelodi Sundowns put his foot on the ball as usual. The "Brazilians" were enterprising with Teboho Mokoena still as imperial in the middle game. However, the solution took time to come, and still not from a sector where it was most expected.

It was left-back Audrey Modiba who cleared the situation for the South Africans with a masterful free kick in the 37th minute of play. An achievement that allowed Mamelodi Sundowns to return to the locker room with the advantage.

The VAR episode and a tight second half
The second period was delayed by 30 minutes due to a problem with the VAR. A technical issue that took a good half-hour before being resolved for the match to resume. An incident that did not affect the show since the Moroccans tried to return to the game.

But without success against a hermetic defense of Mamelodi Sundowns. The Masandawana managed their shot by keeping their advantage and a possession, failing to score a second goal, despite great opportunities. The match ended on this score (1-0). Mamelodi Sundowns will travel to Rabat next Sunday with this slight advantage for the final return and decisive for the coronation.
