His angled free kick eluded all defenders and hit it into the net to give Constantine a narrow first-leg advantage.

Maqassa earlier had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside when Hassan El-Shahat fired in on the rebound after a free-kick was parried into his path.

The second leg will take place in Egypt on 19 April.
