Ghanaian minnows Dreams FC continues to shine bright like a diamond. The Ghanaians travelled to Mali and went down early in the second half to Yoro Diaby’s strike. John Antwi showed his immense experience in the competition by scoring a brace for Still Believe to record a sumptuous away win in Bamako. The 2-1 win means Dreams is the first club to win an away knockout game by a Ghanaian club since Hearts of Oak’s 2-1 win in Tunisia in 2000 in the CAF Champions League finals against Esperance.
Nigeria’s Rivers United triumphed 1-0 through Augustine Okejepha’s goal in the first half against the defending champions USM Alger at home.
10 men RS Berkane drew goalless in Libya against Abu Salim.
In the all-Egyptian affair, Zamalek scored late to record a 2-1 win over Modern Future FC. Ali Yasser’s 35th-minute opener for Future FC was cancelled by Hamza Mathlouthi on the stroke of halftime. Zizo’s penalty with two minutes to end the game ensured that they continued their total dominance over Modern Future FC. It is 6 games between the two and Zamalek has won all.
The second legs will be played on Sunday 7th April.
