Champions League holders Ahli will take on Kenya's Tusker in the competition's round of 32 for a fifth meeting. Tusker have qualified to face Ahli after hammering St. Michel of Seychelles 7-1 on aggregate in the tournament's preliminaries. The Kenyans eased to a 3-0 second-leg victory on Saturday, much to the delight of their manager Robert Matano. "I am happy as the players played according to instructions and at the end of the day we got the important goals and a morale boosting win," Matano told SuperSport.com. "We do not want to waste time celebrating as we have a huge task ahead of us as we prepare against Ahli which is a very good team," Tusker played four times against Ahli in the Champions League in 2000 and 2006, losing three matches and winning a single tie. The 10-time Kenyan league champions took part in the Champions League seven times before, reaching the semis in 1973 in their best-ever position. The first leg takes place in Nairobi on March 15/16/17 as the return leg will be played three weeks later.
