Espérance de Tunis earned its first CAF Champions League group-stage victory by beating Simba 1-0 at Radès. Jacques Diarra scored in the 21st minute, giving the Tunisian club five points after two earlier draws.
The evening also brought a 0-0 result between JS Kabylie and AS FAR in Tizi Ouzou. Goalkeepers Gaïa Merbah and El Khayati made important stops as both sides searched unsuccessfully for a breakthrough in Group B.
RS Berkane and Pyramids likewise finished goalless, with Zinedine Machach hitting the post late in the match. Power Dynamos and Rivers United shared another 0-0 draw in Ndola, securing their first group-stage points after each had lost its opening two fixtures.
