Al-Ahly and Mamelodi Sundowns progressed into the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League after seeing off Simba SC 2-0 and Young Africans on penalties in the second leg of the quarter-finals on Friday night.
The Egyptian heavyweights defeated the Tanzanian giants 1-0 in the first leg in Dar es Salaam last week and completed the job on home turf in the return leg thanks to second half goals from Amr El Solia and Mahmoud Kahraba for a 3-0 aggregate victory.
