Emad Motab scored in the last minute of stoppage time to add a first African Confederations Cup win for African Champions League record holders Egypt's Al-Ahli over Sewe Sport of Ivory Coast on Saturday.
The eight-time Champions League holders took the title on the away goal rule in the second leg of the final held at Cairo International Stadium after having lost 2-1 in Abidjan, also becoming the first Egyptian side to take the tournament.
Egyptian international, Motab, sent home spectators at the fully-packed 75,000-seater stadium into mayhem, after his side had displayed sheer dominance that was ineffective throughout a full 95 minutes.
Had the two sides drawn, the title would have gone to the Ivorians, who themselves are their country's runners-up for the first time in the 11 years since the start of the annually-held competition in 2004.
