Bafana Bafana star Percy Tau starts as Al Ahly take on Wydad in their second leg CAF Champions League final at the Stade Mohamed V this evening.
Tau took centre stage last week in Cairo when he was one of the best players on the pitch and opened the scoring with a header in the opening half.
His exploits further engraved him a crowd favourite status amongst the Alhwy faithful and he will no doubt be a key figure for Marcel Koller’s side again in Casablanca.
The 2-1 aggregate win means things are evenly poised this evening, with the reigning champions having the away goal from last week.
Should Wydad win 1-0 this evening, they would retain their status as African champions, a draw would see Ahly win back to the title after losing out to the same opposition last season at the very same stadium.
Wydad XI:
El Motie; El Amloud, Farhane, Zola, Attiat-Allah, Daoudi, Jabrane (c), El Hassouni, Ounnajem; Bouhra, Sambdou.
Al Ahly XI:
El Shenaway, Hany, Abdelmonem, Ibrahim, Maaloul, Dieng, Marawan, El Shahat, Kahraba, Tau.
