Ghana defender Harrison Afful will play in his second successive Caf Champions League final after Esperance beat Al Hilal 2-0 on Saturday in the semi-final second leg.

Afful played as right-winger as the Tunis-based side sealed a 3-0 aggregate having won the first 1-0 in Omdurman a fortnight ago.

But the former Asante Kotoko player picked up an injury and was replaced by Khaled Korbi in the 69th minute.

Tunisia international midfielder Youssef Msakni, who scored in the first leg, opened the scoring again after 52 minutes.

Wajdi Bouazzi’s 90th minute goal sealed the win which was played inside an empty Rades Stadium due to a Caf ban.

The 1994 African champions now await winners of Sunday’s other semi-final between Wydad Casablanca of Morocco and Enyimba of Nigeria.

Wydad hold a 1-0 lead from the first semifinal clash in Morocco two weeks ago.

Afful scored in last year’s final when Esperance were beaten by TP Mazembe of DR Congo.
