Fosa Juniors vs RS Berkane 2-0 | Caf Confederation Cup | Highlights & Goals (28.10.2019). Malagasy champions Fosa Juniors earned themselves a massive advantage for a first ever appearance at the group stages of continental football after beating last year’s finalists RS Berkane of Morocco 2-0 in the first leg of the Total CAF Confederation Cup play-off round in Antananarivo on Sunday. The Malagasy side which was eliminated at the same stage in the 2018 season will now need to travel to Berkane, with a healthy two-gal advantage in their quest for a ticket at the last 16. Playing at home, they were completely in charge of proceedings and broke the deadlock in the 10th minute through Jean Yves Razafindrakoto. Pushed on by the sea of orange in the stands, Fosa kept their control intact for a 1-0 lead they took through to half time. In the second half, Berkane came back better, seeking a consecutive appearance in the group stages. With a quarter of an hour into the second half, they had a chance to get themselves back into the game with a priceless away goal, but they will only have themselves to blame after missing a penalty on the hour mark. They were made to pay in the second minute of added time when Romario Baggio Rakotoarisoa converted from the penalty spot to give the home side a comfortable 2-0 cushion heading into the return leg in Berkane next weekend. Caf Confederation Cup Play-Offs: South Africa’s Bidvest Wits and Egyptian debutants Pyramids FC earned precious identical 2-1 away victories in the first leg ties of their Total CAF Confederation Cup play-off round matches in Maputo and Mwanza respectively. In Maputo, homers UD Songo had fought from a goal down to draw level, but they could not stop the fighting spirit of the Clever Boys who scored a 60th minute winner through Sameehg Doutie. The South African outfit had gone ahead through Deon Hotto, but Songo fought back to draw level through Stelio Telinho Ernesto in the 34th minute. The two head into the return leg in Johannesburg next weekend with Bidvest only requiring a draw to book a slot in the group stages of the Confederation Cup. At the CCM Kirumba Stadium in Mwanza, Tanzania, home side Young Africans (Yanga) are staring at elimination after suffering a loss of a similar score-line at the hands of Pyramids coached by former Uganda Cranes coach Sebastien Desabre. The visitors got into the lead three minutes from the break through Eric Traore before they doubled their tally 18 minutes into the second half through Abdallah el Said. With a comfortable 2-0 cushion, Pyramids were in cool control of proceedings. However, the home side drew one back two minutes from time through Congolese forward Papy Tshishimbi. Yanga’s day turned from bad to worse as defender Kelvin Yondani was sent off for a second bookable offense and will miss the return tie at the June 30 Stadium in Cairo next weekend.
