Mamelodi Sundowns claimed their second African Champions League crown with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Morocco's AS FAR in a dramatic final at Rabat's Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium. The South African side weathered an early storm from the home crowd, who desperately wanted their team to end a 39-year wait for the continent's premier club trophy.

AS FAR took the lead through a Hrimat penalty after VAR intervened to penalize Sundowns' Lunga for a challenge on Slim. However, Sundowns equalized before halftime when Mokoena finished brilliantly from Brayan Leon's cross. The Moroccans earned a second penalty after another VAR review, but goalkeeper Williams - who saved four penalties in the 2023 AFCON - produced a stunning save to preserve the draw.

Williams' crucial stop deflated the home side as supporters began leaving early, leaving Sundowns to lift the trophy in a near-empty stadium. This victory provides some consolation after Orlando Pirates ended their eight-year domestic reign the previous day, denying Sundowns a historic double.

The triumph marks Mamelodi Sundowns as one of Africa's elite clubs, joining an exclusive group of multiple-time champions. For AS FAR, the wait for continental glory extends to nearly four decades, leaving Moroccan football to ponder another missed opportunity on the biggest stage.
