We now know 14 of the 16 clubs qualified for the group phase of the CAF Confederation Cup. New comers Jaraaf fc of Dakar have also made the group stages for the first time in their short history as the team ousted Platinum FC on Sunday (1-0).
Later this Monday the groupings will be done as CAF has scheduled the draw.
Raja of Casablanca had a narrow escape. After its elimination from the Champions League, the Moroccan club almost did not make these group stages. It took a penalty shootout for Raja, despite winning the first round (1-0), to eliminate US Monastir.
For these second leg games played over the weekend, only two teams managed to reverse an unfavorable result in the away leg. They are Salitas. Dominated last week by AS Bouenguidi (0-1), the Burkinabe won 3-1 on Sunday. And finally, JS Kabylie who, after losing in Bamako against Stade Malien (2-1), improved its away goal by winning 1-0. Enough to move into the group phase of the CAF Cup.
In addition, the match between ES Sahel (Tunisia) and Young Buffaloes (Eswatini) was rescheduled. And the last ticket will be played between Namungo (Tanzania) and 1° Agusto (Angola). In the first leg, the Tanzanians largely won 6-2. Making the group stage will be their first.
