Goals from Kofi Kuami and Roger Asale handed Sewe Sport a 2-1 victory over Al Ahly in the first leg of the Confederations Cup final.
The visitors, now without their talisman Mohammed Aboutrika, should have opened the scoring in the opening stages but Walid Soliman squandered a easy chance to gift them the opener.
The Ivorians took the lead after 22 minute courtesy of a calmly dispatched penalty from Kofi, who sent Al Ahly keeper, Ahmed Adel, the wrong way.
The home could have increased their advantage after the halftime the break but Asale was guilty of wasting a glorious chance.
And the Ivorians were made to rue that miss, as Mahmoud Hassan, known as Trezeguet, finished off a neat move to level matters for the Egyptian side.
However, Ashale managed to make up for his earlier miss, as the striker pounced on a defensive error to seal an important win for Sewe.
The Second leg will take place on 6 December 2014 in Cairo.
