A dramatic late penalty from Menard Mupera handed How
Mine a 2-1 win over Bayelsa United in the CAF Conderation Cup second round.
The Zimbabwean outfit went into Saturday's first-leg
encounter with home advantage, but it was the Nigerian visitors who took the
lead at the Barbourfields Stadium when Bernard Okorowanta opened the scoring
shortly after half-time.
However, How Mine levelled the scoring on the hour mark
thanks to Morris Kadzola's strike.
It looked as though the game would finish level, but
Mupera kept his nerve from 12 yards in the third minute of injury time to give
How Mine a lead to hold on to going into next week's return leg.
Malian side Djoliba were runners-up in 2012, but their
hopes of reaching the group stages this year were dealt a huge blow with a 2-0
defeat against Wadi Degla of Egypt at the Cairo Military Academy Stadium.
After a goalless first half, the Egyptian side moved
ahead in the 57th minute through Mostafa Talaat's strike, before an own goal
from Abdoulaye Traore in injury time means that Djoliba have it all to do in
the second leg.
Elsewhere, Jean Paul Niyonzima's solitary strike handed
AS Kigali of Rwanda a 1-0 triumph over Morocco's Difaa El Jadida, while
Tunisians Etoile Sahel also have a lead to take into the second leg after Alaya
Brigui's eighth-minute goal ensured a 1-0 win over South African visitors
SuperSport United.
