Al-Ahly of Egypt, the defending champion, made a big stride towards the final of the African Champions League competition, following its great victory over its guest, ES Setif of Algeria, 4-0 at the “Al-Salam” stadium in Cairo.
And logically, it is expected that Al-Ahly and Moroccan Wydad will qualify for the final following Wydad return with an explicit superiority from the land of its host, Petro Atletico of Angola, 3-1 in the capital, Luanda, in the first leg of the semi-finals.
Al-Ahly and Wydad had reached the final of the 2017 edition, when the Moroccan team won the title following drawing 1-1 in Cairo, then Wydad won once more in Casablanca with a goal scored by Walid El Karti.
Al-Ahly achieved a comfortable victory to facilitate its task before the return leg next week in Algeria.
Al-Ahly achieved its second largest victory in the Champions League semi-final, since its victory over Etoile du Sahel 6-2 in the 2017 edition, and equalized its 4-0 victory over Nigeria’s Enugu Rangers in the 1982 edition.
It is also Al-Ahly’s biggest victory over Algerian clubs in the African Championships, during 22 matches, which is his 11th victory.
The Century Club seeks to become the first team to win the title in three successive editions, and to strengthen the record for the number of titles, following winning ten times previously.
South African Al-Ahly quartet scored Percy Tau (30 and 90), Taher Mohamed Taher (54), and substitute Mohamed Sharif (72).
ES Setif played with ten players since the 35th minute, following its player Amir Karaoui was sent off with a red card directly, for deliberate roughness with Hussein El Shahat.
Al-Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shennawy sent a message to the fans following the victory, “We appreciate your anger and know that we are short, but there are no excuses,” adding, “We played a good match, and we know the value of the African Championship and we want to achieve for ourselves by winning the title for the third time in a row and to make our fans who support us happy.”
He added, “We were affected by the pressure of the matches in the last period, and today we played following 5 days, so we saw the performance and the spirit,” adding, “We have not decided the qualification yet. 90 minutes left in Algeria, we were successful and affected by the expulsion, we will celebrate and focus on ourselves and we want a positive result in Algeria.”
For his part, he said, “We achieved an important victory, but we did not yet guarantee qualification, and ES Setif will not give up and will not give up the chances of qualifying easily.”
He added, “I will not play with the substitutes in the second leg next Saturday, as there are teams that won great results in the first leg, but the matter turned out to be the return of the opponent.”
Mosimane praised ES Setif coach Darko Novich, describing him as “courageous”, because he played in a distinctive tactical style and tried to hit Al-Ahly’s net.
Regarding Percy Tau’s return to score, Mosimane said: “I’ve known Tao for 20 years, I’ve lived through similar situations and I’m completely confident in his abilities.
He continued, “I am worried when we cannot create chances, and tonight we created opportunities and scored, and also Mohamed Sharif came back strongly to score the net, not Tao alone.”
Regarding his record of 5 victories in the semi-finals, Mosimane said: “I am not here to break records and I do not care regarding them as much as I care regarding the team; Because Al-Ahly is only competing with itself.”
Mosimane demanded that the Champions League final be held on a neutral stadium, in accordance with the decision of the African Confederation (CAF), to hold the final round of one match.
When people buy products, they are influenced to some extent by their own brand and other preferences, and will these factors be related to your personal characteristics? Recently, an American auto insurance company conducted a survey and found that the overall driving conditions of Android users are better than that of iPhone users.
Jerry, an American insurance company, analyzed the driving data of 20,000 drivers with a total of 13 million kilometers, and divided the five driving safety indexes of concentration, speed, turning, acceleration, and braking to quantify the driving conditions of Android mobile phones and iPhone users. What’s different, the scores of each indicator are all led by Android users.
▲ Statistics show that the driving safety index of Android users is higher than that of iPhone in all items.
Aside from the mobile phone system used, Jerry’s report pointed out that the safety index is the same for men and women, and the safety index is the highest among the elderly, married, owning real estate, college education and high personal credit score drivers. , but if you add the mobile phone system, Android male and female drivers have an average score of 75, better than the iPhone driver’s 70 and 69 points, and the single Android driver’s score is higher than the married iPhone driver.
▲ Regardless of the mobile phone system, the driving safety index of the highly educated is higher than that of the less educated.
Jerry’s report can’t pinpoint the reason for the discrepancy in the data, but iPhones are more popular with young people, and younger age groups are likely factors that affect performance, but if classified by age, Android driving still outperforms iPhone driving, and the data also It shows that iPhone users are more unable to resist the desire to use a mobile phone while driving. Perhaps when choosing a mobile phone, personal character already plays a key role. As for whether the US report is used for driving in Taiwan, you may be able to learn from your side. people to watch and see!
▲ Age may be one of the factors affecting performance, but by age, Android driving scores higher than iPhone users.

The damage mainly extended to the rear of the building, affecting garages. The evacuated residents were therefore able to return to their homes at the end of the intervention.
The origin of the fire being considered suspicious, the file was transferred to the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) for investigation, it was specified.
While Spain has just had European guarantees to limit the price of gas that generates electricity, the Iberian press is worried that these low prices set by Brussels will benefit France and Morocco. The very idea that the kingdom can buy cheaper gas does not please.
If the idea of Spain and Portugal was to create two gas markets, one with a local consumption subsidy and another with market prices similar to the rest of Europe, at European Commission level this proposal deemed unfair was not validated, in the midst of the energy crisis in Europe, especially since Madrid asked to make European group purchases of energy.
Spain and Portugal asked in their proposal aimed at reducing the impact of the increase in gas prices at world level for their two countries, the authorization of the European Commission to subsidize the production of production plants using fuels fossil fuels (gas, coal and cogeneration plants) in order to compensate for the increase in the cost of their fuels.
Madrid wanted to charge low local gas prices and resell energy at a high price in order to win on several counts as the world is in an energy crisis and the Commission was called upon to stem a possible crisis in the country Iberian. But Brussels refused this idea where Spain would do well.
“The Spaniards will pay 2,100 million for France and Morocco to access the gas limit”, headlined the Spanish site Vozpopuli, making an estimate of the cost of this refusal from Brussels which will allow neighboring countries of Spain to buy gas at the same price.
Believing that Europe “forces Spain to maintain the exchange of electricity with France and Morocco”, the site predicts that the indirect impact will be “an increase in exports to neighboring countries up to their maximum capacity “.
And to judge that the subsidy which will lower gas consumption prices will have an “attraction effect on neighboring countries”.
The energy sector believes that the agreement negotiated with Brussels will immediately have a sharp reduction in the cost of production plants using fossil fuels and the consequent drop in the market price of electricity in Spain
The media does not accept that France enjoys the same advantages, explaining that the export capacity to France in 2021 amounted to 20.9 terawatt hours (TWh), of which 7.8 TWh were exported, while imports amounted to 14.1 TWh.
According to forecasts, the production of gas and coal power plants in Spain will increase by 27.1 TWh to cover the increase in exports to France, the same source indicates.
And to estimate that Morocco might also take advantage of the situation since wholesale electricity prices will be subsidized and should buy 6.9 TWh of electricity, judging that the price in Spain would be “much lower than its own variable production costs”.
