At Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo:


Karim Ali Hadji scored twice in the first half (1', 44') while Hocine Achiou added one for good measure in the 85th minute as ASO Chlef defeated AS Vita Club 3-2 on the road in game two and won their two-game series by that same score on aggregate.


At Abidjan, Ivory Coast:


Despite dropping a 2-1 road decision in game two against Africa Sports, Zamalek, with the score at 2-2 on aggregate, still won their two-game series with the Ivorian club on away goals.   Amr Zaki scored the series winner in the 82nd minute for the Egyptian club.


At Fes, Morocco:


Hamza Abourazzouk scored twice (24', 71') as Maghreb de Fes smothered visiting Horoya AC 3-0 in game two and took out the Guinean club 4-1 on aggregate.


At Cairo, Egypt:


Mohamed Aboutrika scored twice (PK-61', 77') as Al-Ahly, following last month's scoreless draw in Addis Ababa, blanked visiting Ethiopia Coffee 3-0 in game two and took the series by that same score on aggregate.


At Ijebu Ode, Nigeria:


Sunshine Stars overturned their 4-1 road defeat of March 25 with a 3-0 home win over Recreativo do Libolo, stunning the Angolan club by knocking them out on away goals (4-4 on aggregate).

At Casablanca, Morocco:


Despite dropping a 3-0 road decision in game two, Ghana's Berekum Chelsea still won their two-match series with Raja Casablanca 5-3 on aggregate.


At Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo:


A hat trick from Tresor Mputu (21', PK-66', 72') and a double from Given Singuluma (42', 44') played a big part in TP Mazembe's 6-0 home demolition of Power Dynamos in game two and their 7-1 aggregate win in their two-match series.
