Caf Champions League: ‘The red card helped us’ – Al Ahly’s Mosimane on Esperance win

The South African tactician claimed the reduction of the Blood and Gold to ten men played a crucial role in the Red Devils’ victory on Saturday

Ilyes Chetti’s dismissal helped Al Ahly in Saturday’s Caf Champions League encounter versus Esperance, according to coach Pitso Mosimane.

The Algeria international was given the marching orders in the 36th minute after tripping Taher Mohamed in the penalty area.

Referee Sidi Alioum had waived off penalty appeals from Al Ahly players, but VAR replays adjudged that Chetti had fouled the forward in the danger area.
