Tunisia’s Esperance Tunis and Morocco’s Wydad Club Athletic dominated the CAF Champions League team of the week compiled after the first leg of the quarterfinal staged last weekend.The compilation does not come as a surprise considering that six of the eights teams in the quarters are from the upper region, with the only exceptions at the stage being Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa and Petro de Luanda from Angola.Meet the #TotalEnergiesCAFCL #TeamOfTheWeek! 🌟🇹🇳 3x @ESTunis1919 🇲🇦 3x @WACofficiel 🇪🇬 1x @AlAhly 🇦🇴 1x @petro_de_luanda 🇩🇿 1x @essetifienne 🇿🇦 1x @Masandawana 🇲🇦 1x @RCAofficiel The best XI of the quarter-finals first leg! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/nJ3vqfrWT7— TotalEnergies CAFCL – TotalEnergies CAFCC 🏆 (@CAFCLCC) April 18, 2022 Following his heroics between the posts in the barren draw against Esperance Tunis, ES Setifs custodian Sofiane Khedairia was picked as the preferred option between the sticks.The custodian is shielded by a back four consisting of two players each for Wydad Athletic and Esperance Tunis.
