There was immense disappointment this Saturday in Lubumbashi and the Democratic Republic of Congo as TP Mazembe, the formidable team, fell short in their quest for victory in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup final. Despite securing a 2-1 win, it proved insufficient to clinch the only trophy missing from their illustrious list of achievements.
Under the guidance of Patrice Carteron, TP Mazembe made a promising start to the match, securing two goals within the first 25 minutes through Cheibane Traoré and Samatta. However, in the second half, the Congolese club displayed signs of inefficiency, with players like Ulimwengu and Mputu encountering difficulties.
The decisive blow came from CS Sfaxien towards the end of the game. In a crucial play, Ben Youssef executed a precise header, securing victory for the Tunisian club and denying TP Mazembe the coveted title.
CS Sfaxien’s triumph marks their third coronation in the CAF Cup, adding another achievement to their illustrious history in African football.
