After the first of two legs took place in Rades in tunis with a goalless draw, making both Al-Ahly and Espérance to become the first teams in CAF Champions League history to keep 9 consecutive clean sheets, the Egyptian giants will look to leverage on their home advantage against the formidable Espérance in what is expected to be a tough return leg in Cairo on Saturday.

With the score tied at 0-0 and an outstanding defensive record for both teams, the second leg promises to be an action-packed event, with both teams vying to claim Africa’s most prestigious club football trophy.

It is Esperance’s first final appearance since winning the Champions League in 2019 when they beat Wydad AC to secure a second consecutive title. They are bidding for a fifth continental title.
