Ahly coach blasts refereeing after Sundowns loss

Koller was convinced Ahly should have been given a penalty or at least the video assistant referee (VAR) should have been consulted.

'I don't know why the referees in Africa don't consult VAR when it's here for such situations,' said Ahly head coach Marcel Koller.

Al-Ahly coach Marcel Koller has questioned the officiating after the 1-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the semifinals of the African Football League on Sunday. Koller was convinced Ahly should have been given a penalty or at least consulted the video assistant referee after Ronwen Williams appeared to have made contact with Percy Tau inside the box late in the second-half.

“Unfortunately, we conceded a goal early in the second half through own mistake from a misplaced pass. The game was equal after the goal.“We earned a penalty at the end of the game. I don’t know why the referees in Africa don’t consult VAR when it’s here for such situations because it was very obvious for me. It’s very important for referees to use VAR especially if something suspicious happens inside the box. He didn’t use VAR and unfortunately we lost the game.
