Reigning champions Al Ahly issued a formidable warning in their title defense, securing an emphatic 3-0 win against Ghana’s Medeama in a TotalEnergies CAF Champions League encounter on Saturday evening.
Despite facing a resilient Medeama side that held them at bay at the Al Salam Stadium in the opening 45 minutes, the Egyptian giants’ class eventually shone through in the second half.
Following some tactical adjustments after the break, Al Ahly broke the deadlock in the 66th minute with a goal from Kahraba.
The momentum continued as Hussein El Shatat found the net in the 75th minute, before Salah Mohsen sealed the emphatic victory in the 88th minute.
This commanding win propels Al Ahly to joint leadership in Group C alongside Algeria’s CR Belouizdad, underlining their ambitions for another successful title defense campaign.
