CAF Champions League

2018 Total CAF Champions League Round-Up.

After Wydad Casablanca’s memorable triumph last year, spirits were high this weekend as the continent’s elite teams kicked off the preliminary rounds of Total CAF champion’s League.

Favorites Wydad Casablanca, Al Ahly Egypt, Mamelodi Sundowns, Etoile du Sahel, and TP Mazembe are in hopes of being favorites this year while some new comers like Nigeria’s MFM, were hoping to use this chance to announce their presence on the continental scene.

Starting with Nigeria, the national league’s defending champions Plateau started with a 3-0 win over Cameroonian visitors Eding Sport while competition debutants, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries got a hard earned away 1-1 draw in Bamako.
Only Akwa United started off with a 2-1 home loss to Gambian side Banjul Hawks which makes the reverse fixture for the Akpabio side a must win encounter.

In Zimbabwe, their sole representatives African Safari FC Platinum, was hammered 3-0 by Angola’s defending Champions Clube Desportivo de Agosto. The miners will have to be at their absolute best if they are to over turn the fixture at the Mandava Stadium in a fortnight.

In Ghana, the League defending champions Aduna Stars lost 1-0 to Libyan side Al Tahaddy in a close game.

In Morocco, Jadida beat Guinea-Bissau’s Benfica 10-0 to set a new record for the biggest win in a Champions League single leg. Moroccan, Hamid Ahaddad scored five goals in the encounter while Tanzanian international Simon Msuva added a hat trick in the encounter.
