Al-Ahly of Egypt closed on a record third consecutive African Champions League title after holding Etoile Sahel of Tunisia 0-0 in the first leg of the final on Saturday. Etoile failed to convert the two chances of a tight, tense clash and finished with 10 men after the 80th-minute dismissal of Mehdi Meriah for a professional foul.
Amine Chermiti scored twice as Etoile Sahel of Tunisia defeated Al-Hilal of Sudan 3-1 this weekend to reach a third African Champions League final in four years. Saber Ben Frej was also on target for Etoile as they squeezed through 4-3 on aggregate, having lost the first leg of the semifinal 2-1 in Omdurman two weeks ago.
