An Egypt legend has taken aim at Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller for starting Percy Tau against Mamelodi Sundowns in the second leg of their African Football League semi-final.
The Egyptians bowed out of the newly formed tournament after goalless draw in the second leg at the Cairo International Stadium on Wednesday.

Africa Cup of Nations winner Mido feels the head coach should take responsibility for not advancing to the final and questioned his selections.
"Ali Maaloul cannot be a scapegoat," the former Tottenham Hotspur striker told Al-Mehwar.
"The one who bears the result in the end is Marcel Koller, the team's coach, because of his changes today in the match.
"Koller made a mistake in today's match by starting with Percy Tau at the expense of Reda Slim, and left Aliou Dieng in [until] the 70th minute."
The Egyptian Red Devils will now switch focus to the Egyptian Premier League while they also begin their CAF Champions League group stage phase next month.
