Sudanese champions Al Hilal Omdurman on Saturday night stunned MC Alger 1-0 in Algiers, to maintain their perfect start to the CAF Champions League group stage, Afrosport reports.
In a keenly contested affair at the Stade du 5 Juillet, Guessouma Fofana’s 76th minute header secured maximum points for the Sudanese giants, and their third consecutive win.
