Al Ahly 1-1 Sewe Sport | Match Video Review
Al Ahly couldn’t keep a one-goal lead intact to draw 1-1 with Ivory Coast’s Sewe Sport in San Pedro in the Confederation Cup on Sunday.
Burkina Faso international Moussa Yedan gave Ahly the lead in the end of the first half before Sewe’s Kouamé Akrofi Edem scored a share of spoils late in the second period.
Ahly continued their unbeaten run in the Confederation Cup group stage to remain top of Group B, level on five points with group rivals Etiole Sahel, who have an inferior goal difference.

Ironically, defender Samir was involved in another crucial interception but the center-half’s efforts were to no avail as midfielder Akrofi slotted home from point-blank range on 78 minutes amid suspicions of offside.
Two minutes later, Ahly could have conceded another goal but keeper Ekrami was there to tip over and avoid what could have been a possible winner.
But the 83rd minute saw Sewe this time clear off the line, denying a header from forward Gamal as both sides shared honours.
