Key statistics from the first leg of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League 2025/26 final

South African side Mamelodi Sundowns secured a slender but significant advantage in the first leg of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League final after defeating FAR Rabat 1-0 on Sunday.

Aubrey Modiba's stunning first-half free-kick separated the two sides at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.

Below are some of the key numbers and outstanding individual performances from the first-leg:

• This is the first win for Mamelodi Sundowns against FAR Rabat in the CAF Champions League, drawing the first two games against them (both in group stage in 2024-25).

• Mamelodi Sundowns have won four successive home games in the CAF Champions League, keeping a clean sheet in all four – their best streak of home wins without conceding in the competition.

• FAR Rabat have lost back-to-back games in the CAF Champions League for the second time, after two defeats in a row in the group stages in the 2007 edition.
  
  
  
• Mamelodi Sundows had 71% possession in this game, the fifth time that they have recorded a figure of 70% or more in the CAF Champions League this season – the most of any side.
  
  
  
• FAR Rabat failed to land a single shot on target tonight, just the second such occasion for the Moroccan outfit in the CAF Champions League this season (also vs Al Ahly in February in the group stages).
  
  
  
• Mamelodi Sundowns became the first side to score a first half goal against FAR Rabat in the CAF Champions League this season.
  
  
  
• Mamelodi Sundowns’ Aubrey Modiba became the first player to score a direct free kick goal in a CAF Champions League final game since Wydad Casablanca’s Yahya Attiat Allah against Al Ahly in June 2023.
