Narry sends Etoile to Club WC semis

African champions Etoile Sahel booked their place in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup after beating Mexico's Pachuca 1-0, thanks to a late strike from Moussa Narry (better known in Ghana as Moses Narh).

The Ghanaian midfielder, who scored the third goal in Etoile's 3-1 Champions League final victory over Ahli, fired in a quite similar shot five minutes from time to send his team through.

Despite Pachuca's domination for long spells of the game, Etoile managed to overcome the Mexicans before striking late on the counter.

In the 85th minute, Benin midfielder Muri Ogunbiyi fed Narry with a fine layoff, and the latter's 30-yard deflected shot found its way into the back of the net.

The Tunisians will meet Copa Libertadores champions Boca Juniors of Argentina on Wednesday.
