African Champions League: Esperance Declared Winners by Nobody: 12:10am On Aug 08, 2019 |
Tunisian club Esperance have been declared
African Champions League winners after
opponents Wydad Casablanca were found guilty
of abandoning the second leg of the final.
This reverses an earlier decision by the
Confederation of African Football's (Caf)
executive committee to order a replay of the
second leg.
Wydad left the pitch after an equaliser they
scored was disallowed by VAR.
Esperance were leading 1-0 in the second leg at
the time and 2-1 overall.
The 1-1 draw from the first leg in Morocco
stands.
Both clubs had appealed to the Court of
Arbitration for Sport (Cas) , which last week
found that the Caf executive committee's
decision was wrong and ordered the case to be
heard by Caf's disciplinary committee.
Caf ruled Moroccan side Wydad is considered to
have lost the second leg, handing Esperance the
trophy.
Wydad received a $50,000 (£41,000) fine for
abandoning the match and a further $15,000
(£12,300) fine for the use of flares by supporters
during the game in Tunis on 31 May.
Esperance were handed a $50,000 fine for use of
flares and the throwing of missiles by their
supporters.
They were also ordered to play their next two
matches behind closed doors for excessive use
of smoke and firecrackers, though that
punishment has been suspended for 12 months
provided they do not commit a similar offence in
that time.
Esperance president Mohamed Meddeb was
fined $20,000 (£16,400) and given an official
warning for unsporting behaviour towards Caf
president Ahmad Ahmad . |
