Al Ahly

South Africa star Percy Tau struggled as last season's Caf Champions League finalists Al Ahly lost 1-0 to Al Hilal Omdurman.

Tau and his team were scheduled to play Coton Sport in match day one but their game was postponed owing to the Red Devils' engagement in the Fifa Club World Cup where they finished fourth.

The Bafana star, who was making his third start in Al Ahly's last four matches, had hoped to help the Egyptian giants start their Caf Champions League group stage campaign on a high but was kept quiet by the hosts.
