In the game after a goalless first half, Walid Soliman broke the deadlock to give Al-Ahly the lead with a crucial away goal, as he continued with his fine semifinal form, having been on target again in the first leg.

But Setif tried to claw their way back into the match with goals inside five minutes from Mohamed Bakir and substitute Houssam Ghacha.

Meanwhile Esperance also secured a 4-2 win over Angolan giants Primiero Agosto to reach the final 4-3 on aggregate.

The final will be played on the 2 and 9 November, with Al Ahly hosting Esperance in the first leg.
