Durban City take first-leg advantage in CAF Confederation Cup tie

Durban City moved closer to the CAF Confederation Cup group stages with a 3-1 victory over Mauritius side Port Louis in the first leg of their Second qualifying round tie on Sunday.

Haashim Domingo gave the Citizens the lead after 16 minutes at Moses Mabhida Stadium, before Gaston Sirino doubled their advantage shortly after half-time.

Port Louis responded when Sebastien Roussety pulled a goal back, but Durban City restored their two-goal cushion in stoppage time through Tashreeq Morris, who converted from the penalty spot.

The South African side had reached the Second qualifying round after overcoming Rukinzo 3-1 on aggregate. Port Louis secured their place by eliminating Jwaneng Galaxy.

The decisive second leg will be played on Sunday, 25 October at the National Sports Complex, where Durban City will aim to complete the job and reach the group stages.
