In the second-leg match of the CAF Champions League Quarter-final between Sundowns and Yanga SC, Stephane Aziz Ki put on an impressive performance. The 28-year-old Yanga SC attacking midfielder from Burkina Faso posed a challenge for Downs’ defense.
During the game, his powerful shot hit the crossbar and appeared to bounce down over the goal line, but the referee’s ‘no goal’ decision was confirmed by VAR. It has been rumored that Aziz Ki is being scouted by Orlando Pirates, who were impressed by his performance in the match against Sundowns.
There was a moment captured on social media showing Rulani, possibly the coach of Orlando Pirates, embracing Aziz Ki and having a conversation with him, which was interrupted by a Yanga official. This incident has led to speculation about the player’s future and the possibility of a move to Orlando Pirates.
Some have suggested that the officials’ emotional response could be linked to Aziz Ki’s contract situation, as it is reported that his contract is set to expire in a few months. There have been opinions expressed on social media about the potential poaching of Aziz Ki by other clubs and the impact of the player’s performance in the match.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Aziz Ki has garnered admiration from fans for his talent and potential.
