In a crucial CAF Champions League encounter at the Babas Yara Stadium, Medeama faced a setback in their knockout aspirations following a narrow defeat to powerhouse Al Ahly. The Ghanaian champions, coming off a 3-0 loss to Young Africans of Tanzania, were eager to secure a victory against the record-holding Al Ahly side.
The Yellow and Mauves initiated the game positively, creating several opportunities in the first half. Despite their dominance, Medeama couldn’t find the back of the net, and the first period concluded without any goals.
The turning point came when Hussein El Shahat capitalized on a brilliant attack, finishing with precision after a well-executed pass from Anthony Modeste.
In a bid to reverse the tide, Medeama’s coach introduced players like Diawisie Taylor and Fordjour Azaria. However, their efforts proved futile as Al Ahly maintained their lead, ultimately securing all three points.
The Black Queens of Ghana displayed an amazing football at the Accra Sports Stadium but couldn’t find the back of the net.
The Zambians maintain the backline after scoring a goal making it hard for the Queens to equalised. The game ended in favor of the Zambians.
The Black Queen’s hope of qualifying for the Olympics is still alive with the hopes of turning things around in the returning encounter.
