  • Mamelodi Sundowns had two players sent off as they lost to Moroccan outfit Raja Casablanca on Saturday in a fiery CAF Champions League clash.

Mamelodi Sundowns suffered a 2-0 defeat against Raja Casablanca in the CAF Champions League quarter-final first leg, finishing the match with only nine players on the field. The game was marked by intense moments, including a red card for Sundowns' captain, Teboho Mokoena, in the 55th minute for a second bookable offense, followed by another red for Neo Maema in the 76th minute. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Sundowns managed to keep the scoreline close until the 83rd minute when Raja scored their first goal through a penalty kick by Hamza Khabba. The second goal came in stoppage time from a free-kick by Roger Aholou. The match was also notable for a controversial moment when Sundowns' goalkeeper Ronwen Williams was struck by a laser pointer, which went unpunished.
