Wednesday witnessed an electrifying resurgence of action in the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup, marked by resounding victories across the continent.
Tunisian powerhouse CS Sfaxien asserted dominance in Group C with a commanding 3-0 win over Nigerian side Rivers United. Kingsley Eduwo’s first-half brace and Rami Bedoui’s goal after 62 minutes secured the emphatic triumph.
In another Group C clash, Ghana’s Dreams FC significantly bolstered their prospects by thrashing Academica Lobito 4-0. Young talent Abdul Aziz Issah showcased brilliance with a stunning 40-yard goal and an assist, propelling Dreams FC to a convincing victory.
Elsewhere, Modern Future and Zamalek played to goalless draws against USM Alger and Sagrada Esperanca, respectively. However, the goal-scoring spectacle unfolded as SuperSport United overcame Al Hilal Benghazi 2-1, Stade Malien defeated Sekhukhune United 1-0, and Libya’s Abu Salim secured a 2-0 victory over SOAR Coyah.
In Group D, Moroccan side Renaissance Berkane staged a comeback to secure a 1-1 draw against Diables Noirs, maintaining their lead in the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup. Alves Ngakosso-Oko gave the hosts a surprise lead, but Youssef Zghoudi equalized soon after halftime.
The draw elevated Berkane to 10 points after four games, placing them on the brink of the knockout phase. Despite playing the last half-hour with 10 men after Janard Mbemba’s red card, Diables Noirs resiliently held on for a share of the spoils against the reigning champions.
