Mamelodi Sundowns Overcome Dramatic Rabat Test to Win CAF Champions League

Mamelodi Sundowns secured their second-leg 1-1 draw with FAR Rabat to claim the CAF Champions League title 2-1 on aggregate. Despite intense late pressure and a missed penalty scare, the South African side held firm in Rabat. FAR Rabat opened the scoring from the spot in the 40th minute after a VAR review. Sundowns responded with a stunning stoppage-time equaliser, as Teboho Mokoena’s thunderous shot off the crossbar levelled the tie on the night and restored their lead overall. In the second half, Sundowns captain Ronwen Williams proved decisive, saving a 75th-minute penalty to preserve their advantage. A late goal was ruled out for offside, but the visitors defended resolutely through eight minutes of added time to clinch continental glory.
