Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rayon Sports failed to make use of home advantage over two legs as they were bundled out of the 2023\/24 CAF Confederation Cup by Al Hilal Benghazi following a 4-2 penalty shootout loss at Kigali Pele Stadium on Saturday, September 30.<\/p>\n

Regulation time ended 1-1 with the overall aggregate being 2-2. The North Africans proved their superiority in the penalty shootout by scoring four of their five kicks whereas Rayon netted only two.<\/p>\n

Sloppy defending by Rayon Sports allowed Al Hilal Benghazi to take the lead under one minute.<\/p>\n

Kelvin Ezeh broke lose on the left flank, went past three Rayon Sports players before cutting in a cross.<\/p>\n

Rayon Skipper Abdul Rwatubyaye failed to clear his lines only for Ezzedin El Maremi Faraj who was lurking inside the box to fire home.<\/p>\n

It was the attacker’s second goal against Rayon as he also scored in the reversed fixture.<\/p>\n

Rayon looked unsettled after the early goal as Al Hilal Benghazi pushed more men forward in an effort to increase the tally.<\/p>\n

Rayon finally found their rhythm from the 20th minute mark with Aruna Majaliwa, Rashid Kalisa and Heritier Luvumbu bossing the midfield.<\/p>\n

The trio changed the phase of the game as Rayon began to dominate. Al Hilal Benghazi had a player down in the 38th minute but the referee waved play on as Rayon went on to score in the 38th minute through a Joachim Ojera header.<\/p>\n

There was a bit of impasse after the Rayon goal as the Al Hilal Benghazi felt fair play was not observed.<\/p>\n

Chances were far and few afterwards as the first half came to an end with the scores at 1-1.<\/p>\n

After recess, Rayon created a host of chances but failed to utilize them. They controlled the game from midfield to attack.<\/p>\n

Al Hilal did not exert much energy especially in midfield as they mainly relied on the speed of Ezzedin Amer Faraj who drifted wide.<\/p>\n

Rayon could have netted in the 65th minute but Heritier Luvumbu’s audacious chip from 20 yards after he saw the Al Hilal goalkeeper off his line sailed over the bar.<\/p>\n

To cut a long story short, Al Hilal Benghazi converted four to win the game with Ahmed Aljaddawi scoring the final kick.<\/p>\n
