Out-of-favour South Africa winger Percy Tau scored twice as Al Ahly began their CAF Champions League title defence by hammering Gor Mahia of Kenya 3-0 in Nairobi on Sunday.
After Ramy Rabia had put the record 12-time African champions ahead on 14 minutes, Tau netted 60 seconds later and completed the rout after 74 minutes in a second round, first leg qualifier.

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos omitted Tau from his squad for Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Uganda and South Sudan earlier this month.
The Belgian cited 'uncertainty over the future of Tau' for his decision amid reports that the winger had clashed with Ahly coach Marcel Koller and could leave the Egyptian giants.
