Emad Moteab strikes late to help Al Ahli land first African Confederation Cup title in Cairo

Emad Moteab struck in the sixth minute of added time as Al Ahli landed their first African Confederation Cup title, with a 1-0 second-leg victory over Sewe Sport de San Pedro, in the final at Cairo on Saturday.

The striker's late header made the aggregate score 2-2, but Al Ahli won on the away goals rule amidst joyous scenes, as they became the first Egyptian team to lift the trophy.

Ivory Coast side Sewe Sport had the best chance in the second leg and hit the crossbar in the first half with a thunderous shot from midfielder Souleymane Dembele.

However, they invited pressure in the latter stages of the match and the only goal came when a cross from the right by Walid Soliman was met by the unmarked Moteab.

It was another significant landmark for Al Ahli, with the club having claimed a record eight Champions League titles.

They dropped into the Confederation Cup from the Champions League this year after losing a second-round tie against namesakes Al Ahli Benghazi of Libya.
