Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Thabang Sesinyi scored to give Jwaneng Galaxy of Botswana a stunning 1-0 away victory over Wydad Casablanca of Morocco on Saturday in a CAF Champions League first-round group match.<\/b><\/p>\n

Sesinyi followed up scoring twice in qualifiers by netting on 33 minutes with a chip over goalkeeper Youssef el Motie after intercepting a weak back pass in Marrakesh.<\/p>\n

It was the second setback for three-time African champions Wydad during November after losing the final of the inaugural African Football League to Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa.<\/p>\n

Jwaneng upset Vipers of Uganda and Orlando Pirates of South Africa this season to reach the 16-team group stage of the premier African club competition.<\/p>\n

But the minnows were given no chance of preventing annual Champions League title contenders Wydad starting their Group B campaign with a victory.<\/p>\n

When the Botswana outfit reached the group stage once before in 2022, they struggled and secured only one point from a possible 18.<\/p>\n

Victory for Jwaneng took them to the top of the table, two points ahead of Simba of Tanzania and ASEC Mimosas of the Ivory Coast, who drew 1-1 in Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

Burundian Saidi Ntibazonkiza converted a penalty just before halftime for the hosts and Serge Pokou equalised on 77 minutes with his third goal of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Champions League title-holders and record 11-time winners Al Ahly of Egypt clicked in the second half to defeat group debutants Medeama of Ghana 3-0 in Cairo.<\/p>\n

Mahmoud Kahraba and substitute Salah Mohsen scored off second-half headers and, between those goals, Hussein el Shahat netted with an angled shot.<\/p>\n

Ahly share first place in Group D with Chabab Belouizdad of Algeria, who overcame Young Africans of Tanzania 3-0 in Algiers on Friday.<\/p>\n

Esperance ended an 11-match unbeaten run in all competitions by fellow Tunisian outfit Etoile Sahel with a 2-0 Group C win in Rades through goals by Brazilian Yan Sasse and Yassine Meriah.<\/p>\n

Petro Luanda of Angola edged Al Hilal of Sudan 1-0 in the other Group C match with Inacio Miguel the 37th-minute matchwinner.<\/p>\n

Matchday one finishes on Sunday when Sundowns host Nouadhibou of Mauritania in Group A in Pretoria.<\/p>\n
