A Curious Paradox: Shennawy Becomes JS Kabylie's Top Scorer in the CAF CL Group Stage
Al Ahly vs JS Kabylie in CAF CL Group Stage, a quirky scoring paradox.

The Algerian side faced a scoring drought as Al Ahly hosted JS Kabylie in a CAF Champions League Group Stage match that ended in a goalless draw, much to fans' frustration.

Among the group’s oddities, Kabylie’s only goal so far came from Al Ahly’s keeper Mohamed El Shennawy in the meeting, a 4-1 win for the hosts today.

Since then Kabylie have been unable to score in group games, drawing 0-0 with Young Africans and AS FAR Rabat before a 1-0 defeat to the Moroccan side.

A tight 0-0 draw with Al Ahly on Saturday sealed Kabylie’s fate as they head into the final round with only 3 points and elimination already confirmed worldwide for their campaign.

And yes, the goalie tops the scorers' chart—surprise indeed.
