Pitso Mosimane's Al-Ahly scored three goals in the second half to successfully defend their title, making it a 10th in total for the Cairo club
Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Shaun Bartlett says his former club paid the price for a lack of experience in the Caf Champions League final defeat against Al Ahly at the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca on Saturday.
