Rabat — AS FAR and Al Ahly played out a tense 1-1 draw at Prince Moulay El Hassan Stadium on Friday in Group B of the CAF Champions League, delivering an entertaining match for fans.
The first half saw great football, with AS FAR arguably playing better, creating chances and testing Al Ahly’s defense. A few errors crept in, but that is normal against a continental heavyweight. AS FAR opened the scoring in the 37th minute after a missed penalty by Hrimat struck the bar, only for Bourigua to capitalize on the rebound and slot the ball home.
Al Ahly came back stronger after the break, asserting more control in the second half. Their persistence paid off in the 68th minute when Trezeguet scored with a precise header, following a clinical cross from Tunisian Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, leveling the score at 1-1.
