By AFPMore by this AuthorJOHANNESBURGGuinean club Horoya AC staged one of the greatest African club comebacks to defeat Libyan visitors Al Nasr 6-2 in Conakry on Sunday and book a Caf Champions League group place. The greatest comeback in a Caf club competition came 39 years ago when Tanzanians Simba SC beat Zambians Mufulira Wanderers 5-0 away after losing 4-0 at home. Horoya president Antonio Souare reacted to the stunning comeback by telling a local TV channel: "Our goal is to reach the Champions League semi-finals this season." Champions League newcomers Nasr shrugged off being down to 10 men by levelling through Ibrahim Mohamed before Nigerian Simon Boladji netted to give Horoya a 2-1 half-time lead. Among those they could face are record eight-time champions Al Ahly, who scraped through 2-1 on aggregate after losing 1-0 to Champions League debutants Jimma Aba Jifar in Ethiopia.
