Al Ahly of Cairo qualified for the quarterfinals of the Caf Champions League on Saturday afternoon.

It is done in Group A of the Champions League. The fifth game day on Saturday afternoon allowed Simba SC, an impressive winner of the AS Vita Club (4-1) in Dar es Salaam, and Al Ahly, who shared the spoils with Al-Merreikh (2-2).

Al Ahly snatched the draw in the final moments in Sudan by eliminating Al Merreikh. Leading the goal scoring with Ramadan Agab (26′) and Saifeldin Malik Bakhit (36′), the local were caught at the very end of the game on a penalty from Moroccan Badr Benoun (81′). And then the equalizing goal from Yasser Ibrahim in the extra time (90’+4′). The Red Devils can no longer be joined by the AS Vita Club, which exploded on the pitch of the Simba Tanzanians. The title holders thus ensures their qualification in the quarter-final of the Champions League.
