What you need to know:

  • Despite Al Ahly being the away team, a sizable number of their supporters, the majority donning the team’s famous red t-shirts were at the stadium to cheer them.
  • They rented the air with vuvuzela sounds, which combined with the cheers and drum beats from the K’Ogalo’s supporters to create an electric atmosphere at the 30,000-seater capacity stadium.

Kenya's Gor Mahia have a mountain to climb in their quest to qualify for the group stage of the 2024/25 Caf Champions League after they lost 3-0 to holders Al Ahly of Egypt in the first leg of the second preliminary round at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi on Sunday.

A brace by the impressive Percy Muzi and another goal by Ramy Hisham helped the 12-time winners kick start their title defence on a high.
