Wyded players protested to the referee, insisting VAR be usedThe African Champions League final was abandoned due to a row over the Video Assisted Referee (VAR) system. Play was halted for over an hour after Wydad Casablanca refused to play when VAR was unavailable to judge a disallowed equaliser. The referee then awarded the victory to three-time former champions Esperance. It is the first time in the 55-year history of the elite African club competition that a match in the home-and-away final series has not been completed. Last week's first leg in Morocco saw Caf hand Egyptian referee Gehad Grisha a six-month ban after complaints from the Moroccans.
