Sudan giants Hilal came from behind to earn a 2-1 home victory over Tunisia's Etoile Sahel in the first-leg of the CAF Champions League semi-final on Friday. Defender Radhouene Felhi stunned the home crowd six minutes before the break when he headed into an empty net after an initial header was saved by Hilal keeper. Nigerian striker Ndubuisi Eze leveled the score two minutes past the hour mark when he fired into the roof of the net from inside the area following a goal-mouth scramble. Five minutes later, Eze's compatriot Kelechi Osunwa sent the home fans into ecstasy after connecting with Yusuf Mohamed's cross from the right to head home. The Champions League surprise package Hilal stretched their unbeaten home run to 95 matches. A draw for Hilal in Souse will be enough to lift them to the competition's final, where they will face either Ahli or Ittihad of Libya. Defending champions Ahli, who are looking for an unprecedented third successive title, visit Ittihad on Sunday in the first-leg of the Champions League semi-final.
