The second-round matches of Africa’s second most prestigious tournament, the CAF Confederation Cup, have been completed.
Some teams advanced with dominant performances, while others had to battle through penalty shootouts to secure their place in the next round.
Tanzanian side Azam won their last match 7-0, advancing with an aggregate score of 9-0. Egypt’s powerhouse Zamalek cruised through with a 7-0 aggregate victory over two legs, while Moroccan giants Wydad progressed comfortably with a 6-1 scoreline to reach the group stage.
South African clubs Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch also advanced with ease, joined by USM Alger, Al Masry, CR Belouizdad, Djoliba, and Stade Tunisien, who all booked their places in the group stage.
Other teams participating in the tournament include Nairobi United, Otoho d’Oyo, Singida Black Stars, San Pedro, Maniema Union, and ZESCO United.
Last season’s champions, Moroccan side RS Berkane, will compete in the CAF Champions League this year.
