Al Ahly became the first club to secure a spot in the CAF Champions League quarterfinals after Saturday’s round, which featured five matches played across the African continent. Even after a goalless draw against JS Kabylie (Algeria) away from home, the Egyptian team confirmed their qualification.

The result was enough thanks to ASFAR (Morocco)’s 1-0 victory over Young Africans (Tanzania) in Rabat. With this, Al Ahly secured a place among the top two in Group A, while ASFAR remains right behind and well positioned to advance to the next stage.

In other matches of the day, Power Dynamos (Zambia) defeated RS Berkane (Morocco) 2-0 at home, entering the race for a spot in the knockout stage. Meanwhile, Petro de Luanda (Angola) drew 1-1 with Simba SC (Tanzania), even after playing with an extra man for much of the match.

The Champions League round continues this Sunday, with three more decisive clashes.
