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 51st�minute 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 67th�minute 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.
