If Pyramids FC and Hassania Agadir already have a foot in the semifinals of the Confederation Cup after their away victory in quarterfinals on Sunday March 1, 2020, the suspense remains whole between Enyimba and Horoya de Conakry and Al-Masry and Berkane.

There was no winner in the only West African duel of the quarterfinals of the African club cups. The Nigerian formation of Enyimba and the Horoya of Conakry left back to back 1-1, this Sunday, March 1st. Led 1-0 on a strike 25 meters from Augustine Oladapo (18th), the "red and white of Matam" logically equalized thanks to Boniface Haba whose head taped goalkeeper Joel Theophilus Afelokhai on his line (71st). A goal that will allow Lamine Ndiaye's men to be virtually qualified at the start of the return match in a week at Conakry.

The deal is almost identical for the RS Berkane, finalist last year. The Moroccan club snatched a 2-2 draw on Al-Masry's lawn in Port Said thanks to a double from Mouhssine Iajour who first opened the scoring before equalizing at the end of the match (82nd).

Pyramids and Agadir kill the suspense

In the Zambian capital, Lusaka, Pyramids FC wandered 3-0 against Zanako. The Egyptian club already led 2-0 at half time thanks to Ali Gabr who took advantage of a hazardous exit from goalkeeper Toaster Nsabata on a corner, and Mohamed Farouk (34th). After the break, Abdallah Saïd came to add to the penalty spot (72nd). The Zambian club will have to achieve an immense feat to win its qualification in Egypt.

For the Libyan formation of Al Nasr, the hope is even thinner. The green and white bowed 5-0 at home against Hassania Agadir. Moroccan striker Karim El Berkaoui scored a hat-trick, Senegalese Malick Cissé a double.
