Former Kaizer Chiefs player Aden McCarthy has played a role in a landmark night for Azerbaijani side Sabah FK, who secured their first-ever UEFA Champions League victory with a 2-0 home win over Slavia.
Bouncing back from a heavy defeat
The result is a strong response from Sabah, who lost 4-0 to Manchester United on the opening matchday. Playing at home, they turned things around against Slavia and picked up the first win in the club’s Champions League history.
A proud moment for South African football
McCarthy featured in the match, adding another milestone to his career since leaving Chiefs. His involvement in a historic result on the European stage will be celebrated by South African fans, who have been keen to see local talent make their mark abroad.
What to watch next
Supporters will want to see how Sabah build on this result and whether McCarthy keeps his place in the side as the campaign continues.
