Esperance de Tunis heeft een gevoelige tegenslag te verwerken gekregen v\u00f3\u00f3r hun cruciale returnwedstrijd in de halve finale van de CAF Champions League tegen Mamelodi Sundowns. De Tunesische club moet het stellen zonder hun invloedrijke centrale verdediger, Mohamed Amine Tougai, die geschorst is.<\/p>\n

Tougai ontving een gele kaart tijdens de heenwedstrijd in Pretoria, die eindigde in een doelpuntloos gelijkspel. Die waarschuwing was zijn tweede in de competitie, wat een automatische schorsing voor \u00e9\u00e9n wedstrijd tot gevolg had. Zijn afwezigheid laat een groot gat achter in het hart van de verdediging van Esperance voor de beslissende return in het Hammadi Agrebi-stadion op vrijdag 26 april.<\/p>\n

De club bevestigde de schorsing in een offici\u00eble verklaring en erkende de tegenslag. \u201cIn de eerste halve finale ontving Mohamed Amine Tougai een gele kaart, wat leidt tot zijn schorsing voor de return wegens het accumuleren van kaarten,\u201d aldus de verklaring.<\/p>\n

Deze ontwikkeling bemoeilijkt de taak van Esperance, dat een plaats in de finale wil veiligstellen. Het team reisde naar Zuid-Afrika met een defensieve strategie en wist de aanval van Sundowns met succes in te dammen om een waardevolle clean sheet uit te halen. Coach Miguel Cardoso moet zijn verdedigingslinie nu herorganiseren zonder een van zijn belangrijkste pijlers voor de thuiswedstrijd.<\/p>\n

De winnaar van deze confrontatie neemt het in de finale van de Champions League op tegen de winnaar van de andere halve finale tussen het Egyptische Al Ahly en het Tanzaniaanse Simba SC.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
