CASABLANCA, Morocco — Egypt's Al Ahly has won the African Champions League for a record-extending 11th continental club title. A late header by defender Mohamed Abdelmonem wrestled the crown away from defending champion Wydad at its home stadium in Morocco. Abdelmonem's 78th-minute goal saw the second leg of the final end 1-1 and gave Al Ahly a 3-2 aggregate win. It is the Egyptian giant's third title in four years and was revenge for a loss to Wydad at the same Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca in the one-off final a year ago. Wydad was winning on away goals when Yahia Attiyat Allah put it ahead in the first half.
