Caf Confederation Cup: Azam FC sink Fasil Kenema to advance

Azam FC have advanced to the second round of qualifying for the Caf Confederation Cup after defeating Fasil Kenema 3-1 on Saturday.

A brace from Richard Djodi gave the Tanzanian outfit a two-goal advantage within half an hour, before Mujib Kassim halved the deficit.

However, Obrey Chirwa ensured progression for the home side with a late strike, making it 3-2 in aggregate.
