Despite putting Esperance Tunis to the sword in a CAF Champions League semi-final first leg, Al Ahly SC coach, Marcel Koller, says the Red Eagles are not in the final yet.
Ahly put on a clinical display to win 3-0 as Percy Tau bagged a brace, with Mahmoud Kahraba adding third.
Although Koller is happy with the result, he is careful not to get ahead of himself, despite a healthy 3-0 advantage.
"I am happy with the victory and the performance. We had a strong start and scored early in the game but we allowed Esperance to have the possession in most of the first half," Koller told Al Ahly SC website.
"I spoke with the players at half time to stay focused and they had an incredible second half. We are not in the final yet. We have a good advantage but we still have another match to play in Cairo after one week."

Ahly's goalkeeper, Mohamed El Shenawy, agrees with Koller's sentiments.
"We haven't won the tie yet. We won the first leg but we have a second game after one week at home. Esperance is a big team and we prepared for them very well. I am happy with the victory. We will celebrate tonight and tomorrow we will start preparing for the second leg."
The two sides will meet again next week on Friday night for the second leg in Cairo Stadium.
