Dynamos are re-considering their future participation in the CAF Champions League after what they perceived as biased officiating in Sunday night s 3-0 second leg loss away to MC Algers of Algeria.
The home side managed to score an injury time goal they needed to set Dynamos tumbling out of the lucrative Champions League tournament and win the first round encounter on goal difference after having lost the first leg 4-1 in Harare.
Dynamos coach Lloyd Mutasa and his followers in interviews with The Herald expressed disgust at the conduct of Egyptian referee Fahim Omar
Mutasa said he has been in this competition before but has never seen anything remotely close to what transpired on Sunday.
"Such acts of robbery make you question whether it's worth being part of the Caf Champions League. Personally, I think it's a waste of time as some unfortunate teams, without the financial muscle, get trampled on." added Mutasa
Some in the Dynamos delegation are expressing the view that they would have to think twice before participating in the tournament again. "We will decide on whether to continue pouring thousands of dollars into a losing cause.
