The hosts took the lead after 22 minutes, thanks to a defensive lapse that resulted in an own goal.

But Rabat overturned their goal deficit when Hisham Al-Fathi and Al-Hassan Yossfo scored on 32 and 55 minutes respectively.

Hodoud, who are languishing at the bottom of Group B with only two points, are now close to being ousted from the African competition, which has never been won by an Egyptian team.

On the other hand, Rabat are on top of the group with nine points.

Club Sfaxien are second while Zanaco lie third with seven and four points respectively.

Hodoud still might go through if they win their upcoming couple of matches against Zanco and Sfaxien.

The army outfit will definitely be ousted from the tournament should Sfaxien win two more points.
