Al Ahly began their Caf Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over Ethiopian visitors Jimma Kenema in the first leg of the Caf Champions League first round at home. Having finished as Champions League runners-up for the past two seasons, Al Ahly’s start might be a statement of intent for this season. Last season’s group stage contestants Horoya are now facing elimination and have to be at their best in the second leg at home to overturn the deficit. In the Caf Confederation Cup, Edson Antonio Felix Va scored the all-important goal as Angolan giants Petro Atletico won 1-0 at DR Congolese side Nyuki. Va struck 29 minutes into the match to separate the two sides as Petro Atletico took the lead heading into the second leg at home in Luanda.
