CAIRO - 10 March 2019: Ismaily SC left the CAF Champions League officially after a 1-1 draw with TP Mazembe.
Ismaily SC hosted TP Mazembe in the fifth round of the CAF Champions League at 6 p.m. at Borg El-Arab stadium on Friday.
The Congolese team took the lead in the 40th minute but El-Daraweesh leveled the score in the 55th minute through Abdel Rahman Magdy.
The CAF Champions League draw put Ismaily in Group C alongside Congo’s TP Mazembe, Club Africain of Tunisia and Algeria’s CS Constantine.
Ismaily lost the opening game 2-0 to Mazembe in Congo, and the CAF decided to grant Club Africain the three points following Ismaily fans’ aggressive behaviors.
Ismaily was excluded from the competition following their fans’ riot and they were reinstated to the CAF Champions League after a successful appeal against their expulsion.
Ismaily stays at the bottom of the group with two points from a draw against CS Constantine and Mazembe in Alexandria while Mazembe gained seven points to come second at the group.
