"Jean-Jacques Ngambo Ndala, who is from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is due to referee the first leg of the final between South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns and the Moroccan club AS Far in Tshwane/Pretoria on 17 May."
"Senegal's head coach, Pape Thiaw, and some of his players left the pitch for 15 minutes in protest at Morocco being awarded a penalty, after a VAR review."
"Morocco lost 1-0 in extra time but in March were awarded a 3-0 win by the Confederation of African Football (Caf), which punished Senegal for leaving the pitch."
Jean-Jacques Ngambo Ndala, a referee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is set to officiate the African Champions League final on May 17. This follows his controversial role in the Africa Cup of Nations final where Senegal protested a penalty awarded to Morocco, leading to a 15-minute walk-off by Senegal's coach and players. Senegal was later penalized by the Confederation of African Football, resulting in a 3-0 win awarded to Morocco. Ndala was not selected for the upcoming World Cup but officiated at the Club World Cup last year.
