The CECAFA Kagame Cup kicked off with a dominant display by Sudanese giants Al Hilal.
Coached by the experienced Florent Ibenge, Al Hilal secured a comfortable 2-0 win over ASAS Djibouti Telecom FC in their Group B opener.
The match offered a glimpse into the upcoming CAF Confederation Cup campaign, with ASAS Djibouti Telecom showcasing a defensive approach.
However, Al Hilal’s attacking prowess, spearheaded by captain Mohamed Abdelrhman Yousif’s brace, proved too strong.
Coach Ibenge’s focus now shifts towards refining his team for the tougher challenges that lie ahead in the CECAFA Kagame Cup.
