CAIRO : Egyptian giants Al Ahly will take a slender 2-1 lead over holders Wydad Casablanca of Morocco into next weekend’s second leg of the African Champions League final after giving up a late goal in Sunday’s first leg in Cairo.
Both goals were set up by Hussein El Shahat, who provided decisive passes to find Tau in the clear at the back past and fed Kahraba for a close-in finish. Wydad had also struck the woodwork through fullback Yahya Attiat-Allah in the second half and forced several key saves from Al Ahly’s third choice goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir, thrust into the lineup because of an injury crisis at the club.
