This is the last stop before the group stage of the Confederation Cup.
The framing round began this Saturday, February 13 with the large victory of CS Sfaxien in the first leg against AS Kigali (4-1).
The vast majority of other matches were scheduled for Sunday, with many away victories, synonymous with big steps towards qualification.
This is notably the case with ASC Jaraaf in Dakar and Coton Sport.
The Senegalese went to beat Platinum in Zimbabwe thanks to Albert Diene.
The Cameroonians were traveling to Niger to face AS Sonidep and return to Cameroon full of confidence with the achievement of Thierry Tchuente, indisputable holder during the

Zambians from Napsa Stars FC, South Africans from Orlando Pirates, Tunisians from Étoile du Sahel and Egyptians from Pyramids FC have also won far from home and can approach their return match with serenity.
The latter, finalists of the last edition, were able to count on a very good Islam Issa, author of a double on the ground of the Racing Club of Abidjan (0-2).
Stade Malien wins after additional time
For the rest, the suspense remains, and more particularly between Al Ahly Benghazi and the Daring Club Motema Pembe.
Libyans and Congolese parted back to back (1-1) before Stade Malien won in stoppage time against JS Kabylie (2-1).
The return match in a week promises to be very hotly contested.
