The first football team of Al-Ahly club lost the first half of the match against Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa, by five goals to two, in the match that brought the two sides together in the fourth round of the CAF Champions League.
The match started quickly from both sides, in an attempt by Al-Ahly club to search for its first victory outside the home in the current version of the tournament, and continued the distinctive mechanisms in order to reach the goal.
Marcelo Allende hits a very powerful ball from the edge of the penalty area, to pass to the right of Mohamed El-Shennawy, scoring the first goal, very strangely, among the midfield and defense players, in 4 minutes of the first half.
Al-Ahly club moved faster after the Sun Downs scored the lead, while Al-Ahly defense was not distinguished and many gaps and errors appeared while moving from the back forward with the ball.
The continuous pressure on the part of Al-Ahly club was able to score the equalizing goal in the 13th s through Muhammad Sharif, after Muhammad Sharif was able to hit the ball directly from the pressure of Percy Tau and the industry of Ahmed Al-Qandousi.
The match returned to what it was, amid efforts by Sun Downs to take advantage of the players’ speeds to move forward to Mohamed El-Shennawy’s goal, but the defensive coverage by Yasser Ibrahim prevented Myloula from reaching the goal again.
From a turbulent ball in the back and front, Zwani was able to score the second goal in the 23rd s after the players went out in order to trap the team in offside, but not everyone was able to sign the team in the offside net so that the goal was scored very easily by the player.
The match became open between the two sides, and Percy Tao sought to launch from the right side, so that Mohamed Hani could secure the back side from the great creep by the players on all fronts.
Continuing the series of errors and incorrect positioning at all, Mokoena made a surprise shot on the goal after leaving spaces for the opposing team’s players, so the player scored the third goal in the 40th minute of the first half.
The second half started with great motivation on the part of the red team, amid efforts to realize the mistakes and correct matters, but the match proceeded in a one-sided framework, given the strength of the South African team on its land and among its fans.
The physical fitness coefficient decreased, and the players appeared in the strange hot weather and humidity in South Africa, which was deliberate by the team management that there would be suffering on the part of Al-Ahly in the timing of the matches.
Percy Tao succeeded in the 61st s to correct things after a breakthrough and a strong and good individual performance on the right side and dribbling for more than one player and being inside the area and hitting the ball strong to go to the right of the goalkeeper who could not do anything to it, making the score 3-2.
Chaluli scored the fourth goal in the 72nd s from a surprise ball and a clear vibration from the defense, which opened all the lines in the back, and the player shot it powerfully into Al-Shennawy’s goal with a missile above the net.
Al-Ahly club players were unable to provide the expected performance or keep up with the speed of the yellow team, amid a severe rise in humidity from the first half, which made the team in a state far from focus and good physical performance.
From a confirmed individual, Sun Downs scored the fifth goal very strangely, after Mohamed Abdel Moneim failed to deal with the rebound ball and did not make any attempts on the ball, at a time when Percy Tau sought to score the third goal for Al-Ahly, but the post sympathized with the Sun Downs goalkeeper.
The match ended amidst the astonishment of all the followers and fans of Al-Ahly club around the world at the catastrophic result that witnessed the events of the match, which occurred before that in 2019 AD.
