REF DAHANE BEIDA FROM MAURITANIA AND VAR 'ROBBED' YOUNG AFRICANS A CLEAR GOAL | CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE


 Dahane Beida from Mauritania is the most hated person in Tanzania after denying Yanga a clear goal against Mamelodi Sundowns in their CAF Champions League second leg quarter-final match in Pretoria on Friday.

Mamelodi scrapped to advance to the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League, getting the better of Young Africans in a match they clearly lost.

They beat Young Africans 3-2 in penalties at Loftus Versfeld Stadium, after both teams couldn't find the back of the net over two legs that started in Dar es Salam on Saturday and ended in Pretoria on Friday evening. 

Young Africans'Aziz Ki scored with a lightning strike just before the hour mark, the shot hit the crossbar and bounced inside the line.

Television replays showed that the ball crossed the line, but referee Dahana Beida – with the guidance of the video assistant referee – ruled that the ball didn't cross the back of the net, much to the frustration of all Tanzanians. 

Beida didn't even bother to reach for the VAR  to check the ball for himself, with the message relayed to him via his earpiece.
