After a 2-2 away draw in Benin City, the Moroccans welcomed the Nigerians and did just enough with their lone goal to advance with a 3-2 overall score.

In the meantime, SuperSport United of South Africa handily defeated Gaborone United of Botswana 3-0 in a game played in Polokwane enabling the club from the nation’s capital to advance 4-1 on aggregate and blasted into the group stages.

Gavin Hunt’s team advanced to the group stage with ease thanks to a brace from Nigerian international Etiosa Ighodaro and a late goal from Bradley Grobler.

Hunt is a tactician who led Kaizer Chiefs to the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League two years ago, therefore United are fortunate to have him as their manager.

Despite defeating Mali’s Stade Malien by a score of 3-1 in Burundi, Aigle Noir was unable to go past the group rounds.

The Malians entered the match with a 2-0 first-leg lead, which served them well because the lone goal allowed them to advance with a 3-3 aggregate score.
