AL AHLY OUST DEFENDING CHAMPS WITH 2-1 GAME-TWO TRIUMPH ON ROAD; CAPTURE SIXTH AFRICAN CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

At Rades, Tunisia:

Goals delivered by Mohamed Gedo Nagi (43') and Waleed Soliman (62') lifted Al Ahly to a 2-1 road victory over defending champions Esperance ST in Saturday's second game of the CAF Champions League final, enabling the Egyptian club to win their seventh African continental club championship 3-2 on aggregate.

Al Ahly will play in next month's FIFA Club World Cup, which will be played in Japan.  On December 9 at Toyota, they will play in a quarterfinal-round contest between the winner of the opening contest between the J. League champions (either Sanfrecce Hiroshima or Vegalta Sendai) and OFC Champions League titleholders Auckland City.
