Kaizer Chiefs suffered a crushing continental setback after Egyptian opponents Al Masry secured victory through Mohamed Hashem's late strike at Port Said's Al Masry Club Stadium. The Soweto giants squandered Dillon Solomons' second-half leveler following Bonheur Mugisha's penalty conversion, with defensive lapses undermining their Group D aspirations in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi deployed Ashley Du Preez and Solomons' from kickoff while introducing substitutes Mfundo Vilakazi and Asanele Velebayi to revive attacking momentum. Goalkeeper Brandon Petersen delivered critical interventions before conceding the spot kick that shifted control toward the hosts. Inacio Miguel's mistimed clearance gifted Hashem the decisive opportunity three minutes from regulation.
The defeat leaves the Chiefs anchored at the group's bottom, compounding domestic struggles that have yielded merely seven goals across fourteen league fixtures. The club must overcome RS Berkane and AS FAR to salvage continental ambitions.
