Al Ahly – Esperance
Percy Tau scored twice to give his side the edge in the first leg which was played in Tunis. Mahmoud Kahraba added the last as the Reds headed to Cairo with a huge advantage.
At home, Percy Tau’s first half goal was enough for the second leg, who will be hoping for a tenth Champions League title.
Sundowns – Wydad.
The first leg in Morocco ended goalless and all the action was for the game in South Africa.
Sundowns found the net with Themba Zwane early in the second half. But Wydad equalized with Ayoub El Amloud.
The Brazilians took the lead again with Peter Shalulile and it all looked set for the final.
But Mothobi Mvala’s own goal made it 2-2 in favour of the Moroccans.
The final begins June 4, 2023 in Egypt then the second game will happen on June 11 at Casablanca, Morocco.
