Manuel Jose insisted that Ahli's Champions League semi-final tie with Ittihad of Libya is far from over, despite the vital first-leg draw in Tripoli on Sunday. Ahli managed to hold an enthusiastic Libyan side to a goalless draw, and the African champions have a home advantage when both sides re-clash in Cairo next month for the second leg. "It's a fair result, we are happy with the draw even though we played for a win," said the Ahli boss after the game. "It will be a big mistake if we think we are through, because we are facing a very tough side and the return leg will never be easy. "We have to remain focused on our main objective, which is winning the title for the third straight time." The Red Devils are on course to win an unprecedented third consecutive African title, they can also grab a record-breaking sixth trophy. The Portuguese coach admitted that his side was fortunate not to conceded a goal in the early stages of the game, when defender Ahmed Al-Sayed cleared, what looked a certain Ittihad goal, off the line "We seemed a little bit shaky at the start, we made a mistake at the back that could have cost us," he said. "But we managed to regroup and control the game, and I have to say that Ittihad played a very good game."
