Al Hilal Omdurman
Saint Eloi LupopoAl Hilal Omdurman secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Saint Eloi Lupopo in this CAF Champions League encounter, largely thanks to Steve Ebuela's 26th-minute strike. The Sudanese side's disciplined defensive approach proved decisive, though they were forced to weather significant pressure after Salaheldin Adil's second yellow card reduced them to ten men with 15 minutes remaining. Junior Mendy's first-half dismissal for Lupopo meant both teams finished with ten players, but Al Hilal's early goal advantage held firm. This vital three points strengthens Al Hilal's continental campaign and demonstrates their ability to grind out results in high-pressure situations.
