AFC Champions League Final, Game One: Late Goal Salvages Series-Opening Home Draw For Al-Ahly

At Cairo, Egypt:

Al Sayed Hamdy's equalizer in the 88th minute enabled Al-Ahly to salvage a series-opening 1-1 Sunday home draw with defending champions Esperance ST as the CAF Champions League's two-match final commenced.  Walid Hichri scored a potentially precious away goal for the visiting Tunisian club in the 49th minute.

The second match in this series will be played at Rades, Tunisia on November 17.  The winner of this series will play in next month's FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.
