Ismaili have secured a morale-boosting 1-0 home victory over Nigeria's Kwara United in the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday. The Dervishes managed to end a four-match winless streak in all competitions, thanks to Youssef Gamal's strike midway through the first-half. He chested down Mohamed Hommos' superb long ball inside the area before firing a powerful left-footed volley into the back of the net. Despite being already eliminated, the victory is likely to ease the crisis within the club, who appointed Ismail Hefni as a caretaker coach following the sacking of Taha Basri. Ismaili finished third in Group B with eight points, three clear of Kwara United who lie at the bottom. Sudanese giants Al-Merrikh booked their place in the competition's final, where they will face Tunisian side Sfaxien, thanks to their better head-to-head record against Dolphin.
