Drama has erupted in the CAF Champions League Final as Mamelodi Sundowns are set to be handed a 3–0 walkover victory following a shocking blunder by Pyramids FC. The Egyptian side fielded goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy, who was ineligible to play after accumulating two yellow cards in the semifinals against Orlando Pirates—one in the 51st minute of the first leg and another deep in stoppage time (90+2) of the second leg.
According to CAF regulations, El Shenawy should have served a one-match suspension in the first leg of the final. Instead, he was controversially included in the squad—a move that has backfired spectacularly.
Mamelodi Sundowns, quick to notice the violation, have officially lodged a complaint this evening and are now expecting CAF to award them a 3–0 win. With the final still hanging in the balance, this ruling could drastically shift the tide in Sundowns’ favor.
Meanwhile, chaos reigns in Cairo, with Pyramids FC fans in disbelief and heartbreak as their title hopes hang by a thread. Stay tuned—this Champions League final may be decided off the pitch!
