Al Ahly Coach Bags New Record After Downs Clash

Al Ahly head coach Marcel Koller achieved a rare record after his side drew 0-0 with Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday.

The two sides could not be separated in the first leg of their CAF Champions League semi-final at Loftus Versfeld.

The Egyptian side have not had a good record on South Africa soil in the Champions League, but Koller became the first Al Ahly coach to get a clean sheet against Sudowns on the road.

Manuel Jose, Martin Lasarte, Rene Weiler, Pitso Mosimane and Koller all failed to do so in seven previous attempts, but the Swiss coach has now done it in the eighth attempt.

“We didn’t allow the opponent to control the game. We are fully aware that this match represents only half of the current stage," Koller said, as per the club's official website.

"There’s still another half to be played in Cairo, and we must stay highly focused in the second leg to reach the final.”

The second leg will take place in Cario next Friday evening.
