Ex Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says Africa needs to scrap the away-goal rule in CAF inter-club competitions to make the game more competitive.
“I was watching PSG in the semi-finals of the European Champions League,” said Mosimane to iDiski Times.
“The biggest thing that has ever happened, which is good for football, is what Europe has done – getting rid of the away-goal rule. Now you have 5-4, 4-3, 3-2 scores because no one sits back.”
“The one thing I would say is that we [Africa] need to get rid of that [away-goal rule], then we can have open games. So, if it’s 2-2 in the first leg at my home, I’m still in [with a chance] because they still have to play for a goal.
“You know what I’m saying? So, I think the away-goal rule is what really creates challenges for us.”
