The alleged incident occurred after Sundowns played out a goalless draw against the Angolan side in a CAF Champions League qualifier. Reports from African football journalists claim tensions boiled over between the two technical teams after the final whistle.

According to unverified reports, an alleged racial insult directed at Komphela triggered the confrontation, with the former Kaizer Chiefs coach accused of punching Bianchi.

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS’ STEVE KOMPHELA ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN ALTERCATION

Reports claim Bianchi sustained injuries during the alleged altercation and was taken to a local hospital for medical attention. The Wiliete SC coach subsequently missed the mandatory post-match press conference, where his assistant coach addressed the media and confirmed his hospitalisation.

However, the circumstances surrounding the alleged confrontation remain unverified, and the claims against Komphela have not been officially confirmed.

CLUB AND CAF AND YET TO RESPOND

Neither Mamelodi Sundowns nor Wiliete SC has issued an official statement regarding the reported incident. CAF has also yet to announce any formal disciplinary investigation.

Further clarity is expected as more information emerges from Angola. For now, the allegations remain unconfirmed, with no official account establishing exactly what happened after the final whistle.
