CAF Champions League: Al-Ahly, USM Alger, Wydad Casablanca Advance To Semifinals; Defening Champs Mamelodi Sundowns Ousted

The quarterfinal round of the CAF Champions League continued on Saturday with three games.

At Rades, Tunisia:

Ali Maaloul (50') and Junior Ajayi (62') each scored once as Al-Ahly defeated Esperance de Tunis 2-0 on the road in game two and won their series 4-3 on aggregate.



At Algiers, Algeria:

A game-two 0-0 home deadlock with Ferroviario Beira was good enough for USM Alger as the Algerian club, with the aggregate score at 1-1, won their series on away goals.



At Rabat, Morocco:

After Salaheddine Saidi's goal in the 20th minute enabled Wydad Casablanca to outscore visiting Mamelodi Sundowns 1-0 in regulation in game two and level their two-match series at 1-1 on aggregate, and with overtime dispensed with, the Moroccan club, with Abdeladem Khadrouf, Achraf Bencharki, and Mohammed Ounajem converting their spot kicks,  won the penalty-kick shootout 3-2 to advance to the semifinal round and eliminate the defending champions.
