They are found in varying depths of the soil body, generally feeding on living and dead organic material. The giant African earthworm ( Microchaetus rappi), for example, reaches average lengths of 1.4 meter (4.5 feet).Įarthworms belong to the phylum Annelida and are cylindrical, segmented worms. They can vary in size from about 10 mm to 3 meter. It is said that the mass of all earthworms living on our planet is greater than the mass of any other terrestrial animal species.
Let’s dig a bit deeper to understand why.ĭid you know that there are about 7,000 different species of earthworm living beneath our feet? Only around 150 of these earthworm species, however, are widely distributed around the world.
Last year Wydad beat Al Ahly 2-0 in the final which was controversially hosted in Casablanca after the Confederation of African Football said Morocco was the only bidder, Senegal having withdrawn their application.Īhly failed in a bid to have that match postponed and moved to a neutral territory after their appeal to the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport was turned down.Īl Ahly have won a record 10 Champions League titles while Wydad are aiming for a fourth.Earthworms, similar to bees or ants, play key engineering roles in natural systems and thus directly affect our lives. This year the Champions League final returned to a two-legged, home-and-away contest after the previous three editions were decided by a single match. Wydad had also struck the woodwork through fullback Yahya Attiat-Allah in the second half and forced several key saves from Al Ahly’s third choice goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir, thrust into the lineup because of an injury crisis at the club. South African international Percy Tau headed Al Ahly into the lead on the stroke of halftime and Mahmoud Kahraba doubled the score in the 59th minute to put the hosts in a strong position.īoth goals were set up by Hussein El Shahat, who provided decisive passes to find Tau in the clear at the back past and fed Kahraba for a close-in finish.īut Wydad substitute Saifeddine Bouhra pulled one back in the 86th minute for what might turn out to be a vital away goal before the return game at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca on next Sunday. CAIRO, June 4 (Reuters) - Egyptian giants Al Ahly will take a slender 2-1 lead over holders Wydad Casablanca of Morocco into next weekend’s second leg of the African Champions League final after giving up a late goal in Sunday’s first leg in Cairo.
