The Red Devils chief was impressed with the Egyptians Premier League side’s defeat of the Tunisians on Saturday night
Triumph over Esperance in Saturday’s Caf Champions League second leg semi-final reflects the Red Devils’ "character", according to Al Ahly’s director of football Sayed Abdelhafiz.
Goals from Ali Maaloul, Mohamed Sherif and Hussein El Shahat were enough for the Egyptian Premier League side to see off the Tunisian giants 3-0 in Cairo.
Mohamed Sherif’s 67th-minute strike had handed Pitso Mosimane’s side a 1-0 first-leg advantage at Stade Olympique de Rades.
In his post-match assessment, Abdelhafiz was impressed with Al Ahly’s performance, disclosing that the club’s ambition is to emerge as African champions for the tenth time.
