Sami Komsan, Al Ahly's assistant coach, spoke after the team's win over Al Merrikh of Sudan on Saturday night in the CAF Champions League. 

"It is an important win in a very difficult time for us as we are overloaded with games since our return from the FIFA Club World Cup. We faced a very good team but we managed to secure the three points."

"We entered the game with one goal in mind. We wanted the three points to improve our situation in the group." 

"It is a very tough group and everyone has a chance to progress. What matters now is to get as many points as we can to progress to the next round."
