The Brazilians put up a gallant performance in Casablanca and defied their numerical disadvantage to hold the reigning African championsThe video assistant referee had a huge say as Mamelodi Sundowns restricted Wydad Casablanca to a 0-0 draw in a Caf Champions League semi-final, first leg at Mohamed V Stadium on Saturday. Firstly, Peter Shalulile had a goal disallowed after referee Daniel Laryea had consulted VAR. Laryea then relied on VAR for another crucial decision to show Neo Maema a red card. Sundowns were to finish the match with nine men after Marcello Allende was sent off in stoppage time, and fans reacted to these events of the match.
