Second-half goals by strikers Amr Gamal and Geddo secured the win to put Ahli on top of Group B.

It is Ahli's first continental victory under interim coach Fathi Mabrouk, who replaced Mohamed Youssef this month.

In the other group game, Ivory Coast's Sewe Sport will host Tunisia's Etoile Sahel on Sunday.
