Tau brace puts Al Ahly in control of CAF CL semi-final against ES Setif (KingFut)

Al Ahly are on the verge of CAF Champions League final qualification following a thumping 4-0 first-leg win over ES Setif.

Al Ahly wrapped up their dominant display with a fourth goal in the final minute when Tau tapped home Mohamed Hany’s cutback to complete his brace. Head coach Pitso Mosimane had to make changes in personnel with duo Amr El-Sulya and Mohamed Abdelmonem both ruled out of the game with injuries. Taher Mohamed doubled Al Ahly’s advantage in the second half with a simple header in front of goal to add to ES Setif’s woes.

CAF Champions League Report: Al Ahly v ES Setif 07 May 2022 (Soccer Laduma)

Bafana Bafana star Percy Tau played a starring role as Al Ahly secured a 4-0 win over ES Setif in the first of their CAF Champions League semi-finals.

ES Setif fluffed their only chance to at least get an away goal in the dying minutes and were punished in stoppage time as Tau made it 4-0 for Al Ahly with a tap-in at the near post after a square pass by Mohamed Hany. Al Ahly had the incentive of attacking in numbers in the early stages of the second stanza as they swamped the Algerian side,with Taher Mohamed doubling the lead ten minutes in with a header at the back post from a ricochet off a shot by Tau. ES Setif, who had their backs against the wall, had a mountain to climb ten minutes before the halftime break after Amir Karaoui had a yellow card upgraded to red by the VAR, as the visitors went to the break a goal and a man down.

A third goal arrived in the 72nd minute, with substitute Mohamed Sherif running onto a through ball from Tau before chipping beyond Khedairia to put the Egyptian hosts in full control of the tie. The Red Devils doubled their lead nine minutes into the second stanza, with Tau and Mohamed swapping roles: the South African striker’s low shot deflected off a defender and looped up to be the perfect assist for Mohamed to run in and head home from close range for 2-0. Al Ahly thought they had gotten off to a flying start when Taher Mohamed found the back of the net – via a deflected shot – in the third minute, but a VAR review disallowed the goal due to an offside call, much to the disappointment of the home fans.

WATCH: 'Lions of Judah' Percy Tau roars for Pitso Mosimane's Al ... (Independent Online)

Bafana Bafana star Percy Tau scored two goals and created two as Pitso Mosimane's Al Ahly of Egypt thumped 10-man Entente Setif of Algeria.

And history is against Petro, as none of the nine clubs who previously lost at home in the first leg of a Champions League semi-final managed to overcome the aggregate deficit. Ahly took command in the second half to score at regular intervals and become only the third club after Nigerian club Heartland and Zamalek of Egypt to win a semi-final first leg by four goals. To progress, Petro will have to score at least three goals in the second leg this Friday in Casablanca, where they were crushed 5-1 by Wydad in a group match last month.
