Sundowns defeat Wydad to win first African Football League

Peter Shalulile and Aubrey Modiba scored as Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa beat Wydad Casablanca of Morocco 2-0 in Pretoria on Sunday to win the inaugural African Football League.

Sundowns won the two-leg final 3-2 on aggregate to claim their first African trophy since lifting the CAF Super Cup six years ago.

It was their first success against Wydad in a knockout tie having lost twice to them in the semifinals and once in the quarterfinals of the CAF Champions League from 2017.

SPONSOR AD

Success was worth four million dollars to Sundowns — the equivalent of winning the South African league five times.
