Is anyone watching this african champions league final? the match has been stopped for almost an hour. In the 61st minute casablanca put the ball in the net and it was called back for offside. A VAR review was requested, but the VAR system isn't working. The casablanca coach pulled his players off in protest and there's been no resoltion. The CAF president is even there.

To clarify, the first game finished 1-1 in morocco, and esperance sportif de tunis was up 1-0 at home when casablanca put the ball in the net. Apparently replays showed it was in fact a good goal.

e: Here's a transcription from beIN Sports' coverage:

some guy on TV posted:

58', Casablanca would tie it up - Walid El Karti with the header into goal. So it's 1-1, right? Mmmm...no! The goal is called offside! But hang on a second, look at the replay - he is onside. So, hey, you know what? We've got VAR in this tournament - let's go and ask VAR. But wait, VAR is not working, and hasn't been working for most of the match. The game is delayed for more than an hour while they figure out what to do. In the end, officials decided to call the match.

So the match and title was awarded to esperance sportif de tunis, because the casablanca manager took his players off the pitch in protest? Despite the goal being legit and surely the referee being able to look at a TV replay? I mean yeah it's probably not as accurate as VAR but still. Dodgy as.

Was talking to my friend who supports esperance last night and he was pretty disappointed about it ruining the achievement.

Would hate to think what would've happened if that call went against esperance in their home stadium.
