Berekum Chelsea needed a late equaliser to avert home defeat in the AF Champions League on Sunday.
Obed Owusu's injury time goal earned Chelsea a 1-1 draw with Al Ahly Benghazi at the Golden City Park in Berekum.
Chelsea were undone in second half when Al Ahly's Solomon Jabason headed past goalkeeper Iddrisu Ibrahim.
After the opener the home side had to wait until added on time when Owusu headed in the equaliser in the 95th minute to save their blushes.
The return leg will prove tough for Chelsea as the Libyans hold an away goal to their credit.
