Hussein el Shahat scored twice as Al Ahly of Egypt began their CAF Champions League title defense with a predictable 3-0 qualifying win over Saint George of Ethiopia on Sunday. El Shahat, popularly known as the Ninja, struck in each half in Cairo before being substituted in the last-32 first-leg clash. Ahmed Abdelkader, one of many substitutes introduced in the second half by Swiss coach Marcel Koller, completed the scoring in added time.
