“Mohamed Amine Madani receives yellow card for a cynical foul that breaks up a promising Al Ahly attacking move”
“Ahmed Kouka booked for a reckless challenge as the match becomes increasingly niggly in midfield”
JS Kabylie
Al Ahly
Al Ahly maintained their continental pedigree with a disciplined defensive display away to JS Kabylie in this CAF Champions League encounter, though neither side could find the breakthrough in a cagey affair. The Egyptian giants controlled large portions of the match without creating clear-cut chances, while Kabylie struggled to impose themselves on home soil despite the vocal backing of their supporters. Both Mohamed Amine Madani and Ahmed Kouka picked up bookings for crude challenges as frustrations grew in what became an increasingly physical contest. The stalemate leaves both teams with work to do in their respective group stage campaigns, with Al Ahly's experience likely serving them better in the long run despite dropping two points.
How entertaining was this match?
