Mohamed Mohsen opened the scoring in the 9th minute, thanks to a defensive lapse.

Ndubuisi Godwin forced Edgar Ochieng to pass the ball into Mohsen's path, which caused it to be diverted home.

Holding midfielder Hosni Abd-Rabou netted the second goal five minutes later with an unstoppable shot.

The Derviches are now close to qualifying for the round of 16, given that Sofapaka need to win the return leg by the same scoreline just to keep their qualification hopes alive.
