– Al Ahly of Egypt beat Morocco’s Wydad Casablanca 2-0 in the first leg of their African Champions League semi-final on Saturday. A defensive slip inside the first five miunts allowed Magdy Kafsha to run away and score a quick opener for the Cairo club, who have won the title a record eight times. Ali Maaloul doubled the score after the hour mark from the penalty spot. Wydad, who were Champions League runners-up last season, were awarded a penalty of their own three minutes before halftime but Badie Aouk’s effort was well saved by Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed El Shennawy. Ahly host the second leg in Alexandria on Friday.
