Match info: Kickoff: 16.00 CLT (10Am ET CANADA-USA) | CAF Champions League – Semi-final – First leg | Venue: Stade Roumdé-Adjia, Garoua
NileSports.com will provide live coverage of Ahly’s clash away to Cameroon’s Coton Sport in the first leg of the African Champions League semi-final.
Ahly’s starting line-up: Sherif Ekrami – Sayed Moawad, Wael Goma, Mohamed Naguib, Ahmed Fathi – Hossam Ashour, Shehab Ahmed, Walid Soliman, Abdallah El-Said, Mohamed Abou-Treika – Ahmed Abdel-Zaher.
Ahly finished on top of Group A with 11 points in a superb group-stage campaign that saw them lose once against Orlando Pirates and included a remarkable 4-2 victory over arch-rivals Zamalek in the Cairo derby.
Ahly will only miss striker Emad Meteb, who has yet to fully recover from a niggling back complaint.
Ahly, who are eyeing a second consecutive Champions League triumph, prevailed the last time they met Coton Sport, beating them 4-2 on aggregate in the 2008 final.
The Red Devils are favourites to advance to the final, where they will meet either Esperance of Tunisia or South Africa’s Orlando Pirates, who face off in the other semi-final clash.
