it's 5:30 pm here in egypt...and there are already 16,000 fans in the stadium (full capacity = 25,000)....the tension is biulding as there are less than 3 hours for the game
one of my friends called me from inside the stadium ... he told me THE STADIUM IS PACKED....2 hours before the game and there's no more places left for any more fans ...
Finally got home, and SuperSport are showing the match. This is what Yujam has to say:
Ahly played some brilliant football for an extended period of the first half in front of a full house. Etoile on the other hand, have looked very rattled especially during the periods of heavy Ahly dominance in the first half. In fact, Etoile have only managed to produce a handful of chances on counters. Emeka Opara has been absolutely woeful and his level of effort in this one is less than what one expects from a player at this stage. The Ahly defenders have walked the ball past him.
Does anyone know how many Ahly players are in Egypt squad? I'd imagine at least 6 because these guys play football at a very high level.
Party has already started in the stadium. The stands are awash in red flags. The crowd chanting and beating non-stop since the goal several minutes ago.
Etoile come close as Ahly keeper couldn't deal with high ball.. Hmm maybe a weakness in Ahly?
