Egyptian club Al Ahly defeated Misr El-Makkasa 4-1 to send a strong message of intent to their CAF Champions League final opponent Kaizer Chiefs.

The Red Army took the battle to their opponent pegging them on their own half and it took just 23 minutes before the away team broke the deadlock through Mohamed Sherif.

The home team levelled five minutes later through Ahmed Mody after Basem Morsy was fouled inside the box by Ayman Ashraf.
