JOHANNESBURG: Gor Mahia will become the first Kenyan club to reach the quarter-finals of the CAF Confederations Cup after a victory 3-2 to Young Africans in Tanzania
The leaders of Group D need two points in two games to clinch an eighth place in the African equivalent of the UEFA Europa League. On August 19, in Gor, Ray, host of the Rwandan club Gor, finished his mini-league scheduled 10 days later for the second place of Algerian USM Algiers. Gor is the only Kenyan club to win a CAF trophy, winning the defunct African Cup Winners Cup 31 years ago. AFP Sport looks at the four groups and predicts the clubs likely to reach the last eight of a competition won last year by TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Group A: Victories of the fourth day of Raja Casablanca in Morocco The DR Congo club established them as favorites to occupy the first two places in the final ranking. Mahmoud Benhalib became the top scorer in the Confederations Cup with eight goals thanks to a double. Raja crushed ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast 4-0 in a shock of former champions of Africa. Jean-Marc Makusu Mundele was another elite sniper to give a double, giving the V Club a 2-0 home victory over the third Aduana Stars of Ghana
Group B: Al Masry's. Egypt and Berkane from Morocco's Renaissance are virtually certain to qualify, needing a win each to be sure. The leaders met for the second time in 11 days with Masry beating Berkane 1-0 at Port Said with a goal from Islam Issa shortly after halftime. Experienced African militants Al Hilal of Sudan and Mozambican UD Songo rookies remained without a win after four rounds drawing 1-1 in the port city of the Indian Ocean Beira
Group C: The mini-league more difficult to predict with only three points. Ivory Coast club Djoliba of Mali. Williamsville twice beaten Africa's Enyimba 2-0 champion in Abidjan with a header-shaped header from Guy Serge Yameogo after a corner that sealed a maximum of points. CARA Congo Brazzaville maintained a perfect record at home ahead of Djoliba 1-0 thanks to a goal of Racine Louamba early.
Group D: Gor doubled his big rivals from East Africa despite some Boniface Olouch, who offered two goals to the Tanzanians. The goals of George Odhiambo, after 34 seconds, the Rwandan Jacques Tuyisenge and Haroun Shakava have allowed Gor to take the lead, above the USM Algiers. USM needed a late goal from Mohamed Amine Hamia to recover a 1-1 draw at home against Rayon, who took the lead from Ismaila Diarra in the lead at halftime.
