Al Ahly missed a golden opportunity to take the lead in the 11th minute of their match against Ugandan side Kitarra in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup Round of 32. Mohamed Magdy Afsha took a free kick and sent the ball into the penalty area, where it reached Hussein El Shahat, who delivered a low cross that deflected off the foot of Bakar before reaching Yassin Marai.
Yassin Marai struck the ball powerfully with his left foot from inside the penalty area, but it went just wide of Kitarra's right post, wasting another chance for Al Ahly to find the net.
