Al Ahly and Sundowns Battle to Goalless Draw in CAF

Al Ahly and Mamelodi Sundowns played to a goalless draw in the CAF Champions League semi-final, showcasing strong defensive tactics.

Al Ahly faced Mamelodi Sundowns in the first leg of the CAF Champions League semi-final, ending in a goalless draw at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria. Under the guidance of coach Marcel Koller, Al Ahly employed a defensive 5-3-2 formation, aiming to secure a favorable outcome as they pursue their third consecutive African title and 13th overall.

Throughout the match, Al Ahly created more scoring opportunities, with midfielder Emam Ashour testing the Sundowns` goalkeeper early on. Moroccan defender Achraf Dari came close to scoring from a set piece, while Slovenian forward Nejc Gradisar struck the post just before halftime and had a goal disallowed for offside. Substitute Achraf Bencharki also found the net but was flagged offside, showcasing Al Ahly`s attacking intent.

Despite their efforts, Sundowns struggled to penetrate Al Ahly`s disciplined defense, leaving the tie finely poised for the return leg in Cairo next Friday. Al Ahly had previously advanced to the semi-finals with a 2-0 aggregate victory over Al Hilal of Sudan and remain unbeaten in this season`s CAF Champions League. Meanwhile, Pyramids FC is set to compete against Orlando Pirates in the other semi-final leg.
