Notes[edit]

^ In the 59th minute, Walid El Karti scored a goal for Wydad Casablanca which was subsequently ruled offside by the linesman. Due to a failure of the video assistant referee system, a review of the decision could not be conducted. Believing the goal was valid, Wydad Casablanca protested the decision and the match was interrupted. After 80 minutes of stoppage, the match was ruled as a forfeit by Wydad Casablanca and awarded to Espérance de Tunis, securing them the CAF Champions League title.^[2]
