The Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Monday hailed the performance of Egypt’s Al-Ahly football club even despite losing 0-2 to Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the FIFA CluWorld Cup. “A great performance from Africa’s #ClubWC representatives Al Ahly against Bayern. On to the next game,” the CAF wrote on its official Facebook page underneath a photo of the goalkeepers for the Ahly and Bayern Munich. Al-Ahly qualified on Thursday to the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup, after beating Al-Duhail, Qatar, with a clean goal, scored by Hussein al-Shahat in a match at the Education City Stadium. The club advanced to the Club World Cup after beating Zamalek 2-1 in the 2020 CAF Finals, hosted at Cairo International Stadium in November.
