Al Ahly 1 Wydad Casablanca 1: Bencharki cancels out Zakaria's stunner

There is everything to play for in the second leg of the CAF Champions League final after a 1-1 draw between Al Ahly and Wydad Casablanca.

Wydad Casablanca will take a narrow advantage into the second leg of the CAF Champions League final after coming from behind with a potentially vital away goal in a 1-1 draw at Al Ahly on Saturday.

The hosts led inside just three minutes through a stunning strike from Moamen Zakaria at the Borg El Arab Stadium.

Achraf Bencharki's well-taken header got the away team back on level terms, though, and neither side proved capable of forcing a second goal throughout what proved to be a cagey but gripping encounter in Egypt.
