Mamelodi Sundowns won the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League for the second time after holding FAR Rabat to a 1-1 draw in the second leg of the final in Morocco on Sunday night.
The South African side completed a 2-1 aggregate victory at the Moulay Abdellah Stadium on Sunday, adding to their first-leg 1-0 win in Pretoria last week.
Mohamed Hrimat gave FAR Rabat hope from the penalty spot in the 40th minute, but Teboho Mokoena’s superb strike in first-half stoppage time restored Sundowns’ aggregate lead and proved decisive.
Goalkeeper Ronwen Williams then produced one of the biggest moments of the final when he saved Hrimat’s second-half penalty to deny the Moroccan side a way back into the tie.
The victory gives Sundowns their second Champions League crown and hands coach Miguel Cardoso the title after previous final disappointments on the continent.
