Egyptian Premier League side Al Ahly trounced Sudanese club Al-Merrikh (3-0) in their first CAF Champions league group stage showdown.
Despite the absences of several key players who took part in the FIFA Club World Cup, the Red Devils did not shake in front of the Sudanese outfit.
After a tough first-half, Mohamed Magdy opened the scoring at the 57th minutes.
And things becomes easier as Mahmoud Kahraba (63 minutes) and Walter Bwalya (71 minutes) scored the second and third goal for the team of Pitso Mosimane.
Al Ahly will face Simba SC in Dar Es Salam next Tuesday, February 23 for their second encounter.
