PRE-TOURNAMENT favourites Al Ahli of Egypt and Nigeria's Enyimba won their African Champions League games on Sunday to go top of their groups.

Al Ahli snatched a dramatic late winner to overcome the gallant challenge of Zimbabwe champions Dynamos in their Group A game in Cairo. Mohamed Aboutrika scored three minutes into stoppage time to secure a 2-1 win for Al Ahli.

A goal in the fifth minute from Angolan international Flavio had Al Ahli ahead early but Dynamos equalised 10 minutes from the end through Lazarus Muhoni.

Al Ahli moved up to seven points and have a handy three point lead over Egyptian compatriots Zamalek, who were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw at home in Cairo on Saturday by ASEC Abidjan.

Stephen Worgu scored his 12th goal of the tournament to help Enyimba to a 2-0 home win over TP Mazembe Englebert of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Aba, Nigeria.

The win puts Enyimba at the head of the Group B standings, one point above Sudan's Al Hilal, who were held to a 1-1 home draw by Coton Sport of Cameroon in Khartoum on Friday.

Worgu's goal came in the final 10 minutes after strike partner Ezenwa Otorogu had broken the deadlock in the 70th minute. Enyimba have six points from three matches at the halfway stage of the group campaign.

FACTS:
Group A and Group B winners and runners-up advance to two-leg semi-finals and the final is also staged on a home-and-away basis.

The champions will pocket US$1m and also secure a place at the annual FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.
