Peter Shalulile and Aubrey Modiba scored as Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa beat Wydad Casablanca of Morocco 2-0 in Pretoria on Sunday to win the inaugural African Football League.

It was their first success against Wydad in a knockout tie having lost twice to them in the semifinals and once in the quarterfinals of the CAF Champions League from 2017.
