Al Ahly, Coton Sport in final

Egypt's Al Ahly will meet Coton Sport of Cameroon in the African Champions League final after both sides won their semifinal, second leg matches on Saturday.

Egypt's Al Ahly will meet Coton Sport of Cameroon in the African Champions League final after both sides won their semifinal, second leg matches on Saturday.

A 26th minute goal from Angolan international Flavio, from a trademark cross by compatriot Gilberto, handed Al Ahly a 1-0 win over Enyimba in Cairo after a gaolless first leg.

Al Ahly are only the second team to reach four successive African Champions League finals.

Coton Sport will play in their first Champions League final after a 4-0 win over Dynamos of Zimbabwe in Garoua.

The Cameroon side, the first from central Africa to reach the final since 1980, won 5-0 on aggregate after a 1-0 victory in Harare a fortnight ago.

They took just a minute in the return match to double the scoreline through Kana Ndzana.

Zoua Daogari scored the second goal in the 50th minute followed by Kamliou Daouda with his seventh of the campaign 15 minutes later before Baba Ousmaila added a fourth.

The first leg of the final will be in Cairo on November 1-2 with the return match in Cameroon two weeks later. - Reuters
