V. Club are looking to extend Congolese dominance in the Confederation Cup, and escape Tout Puissant Mazembe's shadow
COMMENT
Tout Puissant Mazembe and AS Vita Club have always been jostling for prominence, both domestically and continentally, almost ever since the inauguration of Linafoot in 1958.
The two Congolese heavyweights have traded titles on and off for six decades, with Mazembe getting the best of the 1960s, and Vita Club the undisputed kings of the 1970s…almost.
Les Corbeaux were African champions in 1967 and 1968, but V. Club’s magnificent generation of the 70s picked up the gauntlet with a victory of their own in 1973.
