Club World Cup: Al Ahly To Face Real Madrid In Semifinals

Club World Cup: Al Ahly To Face Real Madrid  In Semifinals

Al Ahly

Al Ahly of Egypt clinched a thrilling victory over Seattle Sounders in the Club World Cup in Morocco on Saturday, securing a 1-0 win thanks to a late deflected shot by Mohamed Afsha.

In the 88th minute, Afsha's effort struck the crossbar before a fortunate deflection saw it sail into the net, sending Al Ahly to the semifinals where they will face Real Madrid.

The match was relatively low in chances, with Al Ahly dominating possession throughout. This win marks the eighth Club World Cup appearance for Al Ahly and marks a heart-breaking finish for Seattle, who were competing in their first Club World Cup as a Major League Soccer team.

On Wednesday, Al Ahly will take on Real Madrid in Rabat, following Tuesday's other semifinal between Flamengo of Brazil and Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia, who secured their spot with a win over Wydad Casablanca on penalties.
