CAIRO (AFP) - Al-Ahly of Egypt moved closer to a record third consecutive African Champions League title by outclassing Esperance of Tunisia 3-0 this weekend.

Ahly opened their mini-league campaign with a 2-0 home victory over Hilal and defeated former champions ASEC Mimosas 1-0 in the Ivory Coast two weeks ago.
