Sundowns also saw Chilean import Marcello Allende sent off in stoppage time at the end of the game for a similarly dangerous challenge and they ended the contest down to nine players.
Allende was first booked for his lunge but after the referee Daniel Laryea of Ghana had checked the VAR screen, the sanction was turned into a red card. Sundowns had dominated early proceedings but once down a man, they allowed their hosts to take charge of the game with several good second-half opportunities spurned by Wydad.
Sundowns had the ball in the net after 10 minutes through Peter Shalulile but a VAR check showed him inches offside as he ran onto a through ball down the middle of home defence. The winners of next Saturday’s second leg will take on either Al Ahly of Egypt or Tunisia’s Esperance in next month’s final.
