Black Bulls shock Rayon Sports; Sfaxien back with a draw in TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup
Mozambique Black Bulls shocked their Rwandan hosts 2-0 in Kigali to get a huge boast before hosting the reverse fixture on the 2nd Preliminary Round of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup 2026-27, while Tunisia’s CS Sfaxien managed an away 1-1 draw in Cote d’Ivoire to gain a slim advantage over AF Amadou Diallo.
In Kigali, Rayon Sports had high hopes when they hosted Mozambique’s Black Bulls at the Amahoro Stadium. But the visitors, who reached the Group Stage in their first appearance 2 years ago look near to imitate that feat after they emerged 2-0 victorious away from home.
After a goalless first half, Abdou Gueye gave Black Bulls the lead at the 54th minute, before he completed his brace five minutes into injury time to boast Black Bulls hopes in reaching the Group Stage before the 2nd leg at home.
Sfaxien grab an away draw
Three-time Champions CS Sfaxien of Tunisia were about to get an away victory from their Ivoirian hosts AF Amadou Diallo at the famous Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjanm, but for the home side to get a late equalizer to keep their hopes alive before the second leg in Sfax next weekend.
Josna Loulendo gave the visitors the lead after 51 minutes, and it seemed they would grab an important away victory, but for Bamba Kader to restore the draw ten minutes from full time.
Goalless in Kohrogo
Meanwhile, last season Champions League runner ups AS FAR of Morocco played a goalless stalemate with their hosts CO de Kohrogo of Cote d’Ivoire. The game that took place at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium in Kohrogo proved to be one of scarce chances as both sides will look now to the reverse fixture in Rabat to decide who joins the 16 clubs which advance to the group stage of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup.
