In their first-ever appearance in the African Champions League, Egypt's Smouha suffered a 1-0 loss against the Libyan side Ahli Tripoli.
The game was played in Tunisia due to the deteriorating security situation.
The only goal in the match was scored by Mohamed Ghanudi in the 49th minute from a penalty kick.
The second leg will be played in two weeks’ time in the city of Alexandria; the Egyptian side needs to win by a two-goal margin in order to directly advance to the next round.
