Al Ahly have won a record-extending 12th CAF Champions League title after beating Tunisian side ES Tunis 1-0 in the second leg final played in Cairo on Saturday.The first leg, played a week earlier, ended in a scoreless draw, leaving the outcome of the return leg wide open.##NAJAVA_MECA_1444##Four minutes in, Roger Aholou turned the ball into his own net, scoring what eventually proved to be the decisive goal of the game.The home team continued to press for more goals but were kept at bay by strong defending and excellent goalkeeping from 20-year-old Amanallah Memmiche.In the second half, the visitors looked more ambitious as they tried to get back into the game. However, the Red Devils were more reserved, and their first shot on target in the second half came in the 82nd minute.In the end, it was a closely fought duel, just as Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller had predicted.”Ahly and Esperance have equal chances of success. We may have more experienced campaigners, but only what happens on the pitch counts,” he stated.”Concentration will be key. One slip could prove decisive between two evenly matched sides.”This title is Al Ahly’s 12th, seven more than second-placed TP Mazembe, who have five titles.The win also sees Egyptian clubs complete a continental double after Zamalek won the CAF Confederation Cup a week ago.From second string to gold: Kevin Omondi’s path to Golden Glove triumph
