No Third Medal for JoeTex Frimpong

Ghana's JoeTex Frimpong failed in his bid to win his third African Champions League title, when a goal in injury-time from Mohammed Aboutrika helped Ahly of Egypt retain the title.

Aboutrika's late strike helped Ahly beat hosts CS Sfaxien of Tunisia 1-0 at the Rades Stadium in Tunis.

The Egyptian side's victory in the second-leg gave them a 2-1 win on aggregate.

Ahly have now won the African title a record-equalling five times.

The only other side to have won it are their arch rivals Zamalek .

As well as winning the US$1 million in prize money, they will also represent African at next month's Club World Cup in Japan.
