Traveling to Egypt for the third day of the CAF Champions League, the Cameroonian club lost (3-0) against Al Ahly. This is the third consecutive defeat of the formation of Garoua in this tournament. A result that does not help the affairs of the men of Gabriel Haman, the last of group B.

Upon return from the locker room, Al Ahly still controlled. The Egyptian club registered 76% ball possession against 24% for Cotonsport.

The battered 17-time Cameroonian champions managed to resist somehow until the end, Raafat made in 3 in borrowed time (90 + 2). With this third defeat, Cotonsport, will go into the Al-Hilal clash on March 8 looking to reserve some pride.
