Before Simba were humiliated in Egypt, they were crushed 5-0 by former champions V Club of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Kinshasa. Ahly remain group leaders with seven points while Simba have six, V Club four and JS Saoura of Algeria, who host the Congolese later Tuesday, two. Anice Badri, the leading scorer with eight goals when the Tunisian outfit won the elite African club competition last year, opened the scoring after 16 minutes. The hosts were forced to play behind closed doors because of a two-game ban after crowd trouble during matches last season when Esperance became African champions a third time.
