Medeama faced a formidable challenge on Saturday night in Cairo, where they battled hard but ultimately fell short against Egyptian giants Al Ahly, losing 3-0.
The reigning African champions, Al Ahly, made a strong start to their title defence in the CAF Champions League with a convincing win.
The first half showcased a brilliant defensive effort from Medeama, holding Al Ahly to a goalless draw. The Egyptians, visibly frustrated by the resolute Ghanaian defence, struggled to find a way through.
However, the second half painted a different picture. Al Ahly broke the deadlock in the 66th minute, courtesy of midfielder Kahraba. This goal elevated the home side's spirits, leading to a second goal from midfielder Hussein El Shahat in the 75th minute.
The comprehensive victory was sealed in the 88th minute as Salah Mohsen netted the third goal, securing a convincing result for Al Ahly at the Al Salam Stadium.
