El-Said wins it for Al Ahly in the 94th-minute | VIDEO
A last-gasp bullet header from Abdallah El-Said gave Ahly a priceless 2-1 home victory over Tanzania’s Young Africans that sent them to the African Champions League group stage at Alexandria’s Borg El-Arab Stadium on Wednesday.
Roared on by their passionate fans, Ahly – who played out a 1-1 first-leg draw at Young Africans – took the lead through skipper Hossam Ghaly in the 51stminute to send the home crowd into raptures in what initially seemed to be an easy contest.
Ahly’s hardcore supporters, however, were silenced in the 67thminute when an apparently toothless Young Africans side managed to equalize through Donald Ngoma following some shambolic defending from the hosts’ back-line.
But a powerful header from El-Said in the fourth minute of stoppage time left the crowd wildly celebrating a hard-fought triumph against an opponent who were on the verge of taking the game to penalties.
