Brayan Leon’s rebound goal on April 19 seals a 2-0 aggregate victory over Esperance, sending Mamelodi Sundowns to back-to-back finals
On April 19, 2026, Colombian forward Brayan León played a decisive role in sending Mamelodi Sundowns into the CAF Champions League final, securing a 1-0 home victory over Espérance de Tunis at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
León opened the scoring in the 35th minute, reacting quickly after his penalty was initially saved by goalkeeper Bechir Ben Said. The striker calmly converted the rebound, adding to his decisive goal from the first leg in Tunis and sealing a 2-0 aggregate win for the South African side.
Sundowns, last season’s runners-up, demonstrated control throughout the match, although Esperance came close to equalizing before halftime when Florin Danho struck the crossbar with a powerful effort.
With this result, Sundowns advance to their second consecutive Champions League final, where they will face either AS FAR or RS Berkane, who are set to clash later the same day.
