- Ahly beat Sewe Sport with late goal to win Confederation Cup
Al Ahly won their first African Confederation Cup title on Saturday with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Ivorians Sewe Sport in Cairo in the second leg of the final.
A goal from veteran striker Emad Meteb in the sixth minute of injury time was enough to earn Ahly a fortunate victory against opponents who wasted several great scoring chances.
Ahly took the title on away goals after the two-legged final finished 2-2 on aggregate.
Meteb, the lone link to the great Ahly teams of the previous decade, rose unchallenged to nod a Walid Soliman cross past goalkeeper Sylvain Ghobouo.
The final whistle sounded almost immediately and manager Juan Carlos Garrido darted on to the Cairo Stadium pitch and celebrated becoming the first Spanish coach to win a Caf title.
It was a record-extending 19th African title for Ahly, whose collection includes eight Caf Champions League titles, six Caf Super Cup triumphs and four African Cup Winners Cup titles.
