Abdeslam Ouaddou, the former Fulham defender and coach of AS Vita Club, has announced his resignation, citing dissatisfaction with the match’s preparations.

With a fantastic start for a western Cape side from a rugby union hotbed competing in Africa for the first time, Moloisane scored after eight minutes and Mojela four minutes later.

‘Stellies’ faced seasoned CAF players from Kinshasa in the second round first leg, and the result was satisfactory.

The return match will take place the following weekend.

In addition to finishing second in the 2018 Confederation Cup behind Raja Casablanca of Morocco, AS Vita Club also won the African Cup of Champions Clubs, which was the precursor of the CAF Champions League, 51 years ago.

Africa continues to implement the away goal rule in club tournaments, even though Europe did away with it in 2021.

As a result, if Stellenbosch scores one goal in Kinshasa, V Club will need to score four goals to advance to the group stage.

In the first qualifying round in August, Stellenbosch defeated Ntsingizini Hotspurs of Eswatini 8-0, and V Club was one of the 12 clubs that were eliminated.

Following a 2-0 home loss to Algerian visitors CS Constantine in Accra, Nsoatreman of Ghana, another team playing in Africa for the first time, looks doomed.

Constantine, who want to make it to the group stage for the first time after two unsuccessful tries, were headed by Zakaria Benchaa, who scored twice in 23 minutes from the start.

After 11 minutes, Benchaa scored from close range after cutting in from the right flank.

He then smashed the ball past custodian Daniel Afadzwu from beyond the box.
