CAF Champions League: Holders Al Ahly knocked out by Ahly Benghazi
Holders Ahly of Egypt produced another error-ridden display to suffer a 3-2 African Champions League loss at home to Ahly Benghazi that sent them packing on Saturday, denying them a chance to win an unprecedented third consecutive title.
The Cairo giants were eliminated with a 4-2 aggregate defeat, having slumped to a 1-0 first-leg defeat in Tunisia.
They still have a chance to add to their 19 continental titles, a world record, as they will feature in the African Confederation Cup, the continent's secondary club competition.
Saturday's defeat by Benghazi at Cairo's Air-Defence Stadium marked the first time Ahly bow out in the round of 16 since they lost to Nigeria's Kano Pillars at the same stage in 2009.
