After the first results of the dayfour other matches counting for the 1time day of the group stage were on the program this Sunday in the Confederation Cup. Crowned in 2020, RS Berkane had more difficulties than expected but the Moroccans ended up winning a crazy match at home against the US Gendarmerie Nationale du Niger (5-3). Quickly in the lead 3-0 after goals from Fekkak, author of a double (18e20e), et El Bahri (25e), Florent Ibenge’s men saw the visitors reduce the score in quick succession after the break by Victorien Adebayor (49e) then Boubacar (52e).
More Lukombe (65e) and Larbi (68e) gave the locals a three-goal lead and we thought the game was over. Except that Victorien Adebayor revived the suspense at the end by offering himself a double (81e). In vain. The RSB thus joins at the head of group D the Tanzanians of Simba, who fell 3-1 from ASEC Mimosas a little earlier.
In pool A, the Egyptians of FC Pyramids had to work at home to overthrow the Libyans of Al Ahly Tripoli thanks to a victorious goal from Moroccan Walid El Karti in the 78the minutes (2-1). They share the head of the pool with CS Sfaxien. The Tunisians snatched the victory at home against the Zambians of Zanaco (1-0) in the 97e minute on a penalty converted by Aymen Harzi after an opposing hand.
In group B finally, no miracle for the Algerians of JS Saoura, defeated 2-0 by the Orlando Pirates in South Africa.
