CAF Champions League: Esperance Tunis Faces Its Ghost

Esperance Tunis lost 0-1 in the first leg of the CAF Champions League semi-finals against Mamelodi Sundowns, the same opponent that eliminated them last year. Brayan Léon Muñiz scored for the visitors in the 51st minute, while a goal from Aboubacar Diakité was disallowed by VAR. Despite the expulsion of the opposing player Grant Kekana in the 84th minute, Esperance failed to equalize and will need to overcome a one-goal deficit in the return match.
