Hussein El Shahat etched his name into Al Ahly history by scoring the Egyptian club’s 700th goal in African competitions.

The forward struck in the 37th minute against Ugandan side Kitara FC at Cairo International Stadium on Sunday, putting Al Ahly ahead in the second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup round-of-32 tie.
