What a fantastic start from the Red Eagles to the new season as our boys booked their place in the CAF Champions League group stage with a 4-0 win on aggregate over Tunisia's US Monastir in the round of 32.
The Red Eagles, who entered the second leg with a 1-0 advantage, confirmed their place in the group stage after defeating the Tunisian team 3-0 on Saturday night at home.
Ahmed Abdelkader opened the score after 15 minutes with a great effort as he set himself inside the box and powered the ball past the goalkeeper.
Hamdy Fathy has an excellent aerial ability and tonight was a massive chance for him to show that skill.
Three minutes before half-time, Hamdy leapt higher than anyone else in the box to find the back of the net with a fantastic header.
In the second half, Hamdy added another goal to secure our victory.
Taher Mohamed Taher sent a brilliant cross and Hamdy met it with a flick header that found the back of the net to make the score 3-0.
Thanks to tonight's big victory, the Red Eagles booked their place in the group stage for the 20th occasion in the club's history.
