Own Correspondent|The Confederation of African football have decided to replay the Champions League final following the scandalous scenes in Radès last week.

This became clear at CAF’s emergency meeting in Paris, to discuss the mayhem that took placeon the second leg of the Champions League final between Wydad Athletic Club and Espérance de Tunis.

The visitors had a goal wrongly disallowed after 60 minutes of play and when the VAR system proved not to be working, they refused to continue, resulting in Espérance being handed the title.

But the case has now gone to the CAF executives, which now have decided to replay the final on neutral ground, with results from the previous legs cancelled out. There’s still unclarity surrounding when the game would be played, although it looks like we’d have to wait until after the summer, with Africa Cup of Nations soon approaching.

CAF’s president had since weighed in on the matter, suggesting that Wydad got the short end of the stick in the second leg of the final.

“If somebody did not see WAC’s goal as legitimate, he then should change his hobby and to stop watching football,” Ahmad told Moroccan sports news outlet Almountakhab.

“The goal was legitimate and the Video Assistant Referee is not necessary to prove that.”

Ahmad also provided some clarity regarding the lack of VAR in the second leg.

“Everything has been unfair towards Wydad,” he told HeSPORT.

“We have had an agreement with a company to supply VAR; however, they informed us they wouldn’t be apply to provide it for technical reasons just before the game.

“I have no answers to give you. I am even so frightened after what happened.”
