Egyptian side Al Ahly beat 10-man Kaizer Chiefs 3-0 in Casablanca on Saturday evening to defend their 10th CAF African Champions League title.

The Egyptian giants opened the scoring eight minutes into the second half and that was followed by goals from Magdi Afsha and Amr El-Sulaya in a dominant display at an empty Mohamed V Stadium in Casablanca.

The turning point of the game came at the stroke of halftime when Mashiane was sent off for a dangerous studs-up foul on Tawfik Akram. He was initially yellow-carded but upon advice from the Video Assistant Referees, the centre referee went pitch-side to the screen and changed his yellow to red.

By virtue of this win the Red Devils have sealed qualification for this year’s Fifa Club World Cup.
