Lema Mabidi: The Standout of the African Champions League Final
While ES Sétif claimed the 2014 African Champions League title, it was AS Vita Club’s Lema Mabidi who left a lasting impression on fans and analysts alike. The Congolese midfielder was instrumental in both legs of the final, showcasing his skill, vision, and trademark long-range shooting.
In the first leg in Kinshasa, Mabidi netted both goals for AS Vita in a 2-2 draw, with his **second strike—a stunning effort from distance—**turning heads across the continent. He continued his form in the second leg in Blida, scoring again in the 54th minute with another precise long-range finish, following a pinpoint cross from Luvumbu.
🎯 Three goals over two legs in a continental final—a performance few can match.
Mabidi’s ability to influence high-stakes matches under pressure, along with his earlier displays at the 2014 African Nations Championship in South Africa, has made him one of the most exciting talents in African football today.
📈 With performances like this, it’s only a matter of time before top clubs across Africa—and Europe—come calling.
