Saturday 31-01-2026
Yes Torup, the coach of Al-Ahly, spoke about his team's draw with Tanzania's Young Africans in today's match in the African Champions League.

The match between Al Ahly and Young Africans, which took place this Saturday evening as part of the fourth round of the group stage in the CAF Champions League, ended in a 1-1 draw.

In the press conference following the match, Torop said: "Today's game was tough away from home, due to several factors such as the weather, high humidity, and the fans who passionately supported their team. I believe we performed well, especially in the second half, where we scored the equalizing goal and missed two chances. But in the end, a draw is a fair result."

He added, "We should not underestimate the value of the point we earned against a strong opponent on their home ground. We are still at the top of the group, and everything is in our hands with two matches remaining."

He also said: "We did not come here to play defensively, and that was not my plan. I was not happy with the performance in the first 45 minutes of the first half. We were not defending well, nor were we playing well when we had the ball. But in the second half, we improved and played with the performance Al Ahly is known for."

He concluded his remarks: "It's nice to see Dieng score a goal because it's not usual for us to see this player score."
