Faltering league champions Al-Ahly travel to Ittihad on Friday in desperate need of a win. Trailing the league leaders by 1 point, lack-lustre Ahly have dropped 4 points from their opening 3 games.

Ahly Falter Yet Progress to Next Round

It was a dismal night for Al-Ahly fans yesterday as they watched their side slump 1-0 vs SuperSport United, at the Peter Mokaba Stadum, in Polokwane.
