Medeama welcome Al Ahly to the Cape Coast Sports Stadium for a CAF Champions League matchday five clash on Friday (February 23).
The hosts are coming off a 2-2 draw at Heart of Lion in the Ghanaian Premier League over the weekend. They went ahead through Bernardinho Tetteh's 35th-minute strike and doubled their lead through Ruben Hennessy's 72nd-minute own goal. Ebenezer Abbah halved the deficit in the 87th minute before Hennessy redeemed himself with an injury-time equaliser.
Al Ahly, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a goalless draw at Belouizdad in their last game in the continent on Friday. Medeama have not been in continental action since a 3-0 defeat at Young Africans in December 2023.
