CAF calls emergency meeting following controversial Champions League final
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has called an emergency meeting on June 4 to discuss the extraordinary events that unfolded at the Champions League final, Bestchoicesports.com.ng understands

In a statement, CAF noted: “The agenda to be discussed will be the regulatory solutions regarding this match,” CAF statement said in a brief statement on Sunday. The first leg of the CAF Champions League final, which ended in a 1-1 draw, was also marred by controversy.”

ES Tunis defended their title with a 2-1 aggregate victory after opponents Wydad Casablanca refused to complete Friday’s second leg.

Youcef Belaili had scored the only goal of the game in the 41st minute before Wydad appeared to equalize in Rades.

But the goal was wrongly ruled out for offside and, with the VAR system seemingly not working, Wydad protested at length.

Eventually, the referee called an end to proceedings, with ES Tunis able to celebrate being crowned champions for a second successive season.

Egyptian match official Gehad Grisha was suspended for six months after a complaint from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.

CAF’s statement on the Egyptian referee’s suspension confirmed he was banned for “poor performance”.
