CAF Champions League: Richard Baffour and Ismaily eliminated after draw with TP Mazembe

Date:

Defender Richard Baffour played for Egyptian side Ismaily who held to a 1-1 home draw by DR Congo’s TP Mazembe in Alexandria on Friday to exit the CAF Champions League.

Meschak Elia opened the scoring in the 40th minute to give five-time Champions League winners Mazembe a deserved lead.

He was left unmarked at the far post and tapped in into an empty net after a low cross from Jackson Muleka.

Ismaily leveled the score from their first meaningful chance 10 minutes after the interval.

Winger Abdel-Rahman Magdi, who earned a surprise Egypt call-up for a Nations Cup qualifier against Niger later this month, eluded his challenger on the edge of the area and sent a bouncing shot into the bottom corner.

The draw leaves winless Ismaily at the bottom of the group with only two points from five matches, eight behind leaders CS Constantine of Algeria and six adrift of second-placed Mazembe with only one game remaining.
