CAF Champions League | Reflecting of Sundowns' CCL progression

Last night Mamelodi Sundowns advanced to the semi-finals of the Caf Champions League in a controversial match against Yanga SC of Tanzania at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria.

The Brazilians progressed 3-2 on penalties after the match ended in a stalemate after Yanga were denied what seemed a clear goal midway through the match.

The decision sparked a debate on the match's fairness and VAR's competence.

To speak more about the match and the controversial decision we are joined by Far Post journalist Mthokozizi Dube and former FIFA referee Jerome Damon.

[yusufmohamed]

People all over the world saw that it was a clear gool except for the ref who was paid

[SuleimanRashid-vxsh]

There's no need for using VAR in African countries accordingly to this action protocols...

[ManzabaySalim]

That's is a clear goal no need var

[juliusdonard]

If no action taken africa futbol will still backward forever, caf shuold give young africa, its chance

[malabainoonlinetv]

Mamelod is not brazilian By my own i can say Young African is Brazilian of africa

[rahimzuberi]

If cAF does not provide answers as to what has caused Yanga's goal against Mamelodi to be rejected, I suggest that we do not allow our clubs to participate in the tournament until he resigns. Let's not share the hooliganism that this corrupt person is preparing.

It is a shame that the CAF president's club is being treated brutally like this, it breaks the heart and kills African football

this is not acceptable at all

[fargakoigip]

If the onfield decision was no goal the ball went out then after why was the corner no given?

[SuleimanRashid-vxsh]

We're not talking about penalties.... we're talking about 90 mnt second match on pitch of South Africa for that huge mistake for VAR and referees... apparently all the world have seen that

[tamizenji]

AFRICA BORN TO CORRUPT "" THAT'S WAS ABSOLUTELY STRONG CLEAR GOAL 😅

[PanchoValentino-whwt]

Lile Ni Goal Halali kabisa ⚽🦵🔥💪💯 ViVa YANGA Big Club since day one

[fanueljames]

The VAR is very clear that was a goal 100%

[allytwalib]

WE BELEAVE THAT FOR MAMELOD BENEFIT, VAR WILL NOT WORK, THIS IS A SHAME TO CAF AND THEIR TEAM MAMELOD, BUT TRUST AZIZ K GOAL IS THE ONE OF THE BEST GOAL EVER, , WE ARE WITH YANGA OF TANZANIA

[nokosekotlong-sksn]

If you look at the downward movement of the ball against that upright after hitting the crossbar, then you need neither VAR nor GOAL TECHNOLOGY to declare it a clear goal. CLEAR GOAL.

Please soccerloving nation, let us not focus on the spot against the goalline, but the movement of the ball against the crossbar going downwards.

CLEAR GOAL!

[wemaenson]

Now if was not a goal according to VAR, then it supposed to be a corner kick

[JuniorMudau-gw]

I've been saying this sundowns been cheating in the PSL since 2015 😢
