ES Tunis 3 Al Ahly 0 (4-3 agg): Bguir inspires incredible CAF final turnaround

ES Tunis completed a stunning turnaround to claim CAF Champions League glory, winning 3-0 in the second leg to seal a 4-3 aggregate final triumph.

Saad Bguir starred with a goal in each half before Anice Badri’s dramatic late strike heralded a third continental triumph for his club, sparking bedlam in the Tunisian capital.

Bguir engineered space in the penalty area to steer in a low strike and send Moine Chaabani’s men into the interval with a timely boost.

Al Ahly appeared overwhelmed early in the second half and were at breaking point when Bguir powered home a header from right-back Sameh Derbali’s cross.

For all their endeavours and dominance – Al Ahly registered a solitary, off-target shot over the entire match – it looked as if time would run out for the Tunisian side.
