CAF champions league record winners, Al Ahly, all but ended Medeama SC’s hopes of making it to the next round of the competition.
The two respective national champions faced off at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Friday in what promised to be a do-or-die clash for the hosts.
Hussein El Shahat’s only goal three minutes into the second half was enough for the Egyptian champions to stay top of Group D with a greater chance of progressing to the next round than any of the other teams.
Medeama’s efforts to restore parity proved futile as Al Ahly held on for a precious three points in Kumasi.
