The semifinal round of the CAF Champions League concluded weekend before last.

A 0-0 home stalemate in game two was good enough for USM Alger as they won their two-game series with Al-Hilal of Sudan 2-1 on aggregate.

At Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo on Sunday, October 4:

Mbwana Samatta scored twice (52', 69') as TP Mazembe overcame their game-one road defeat with a 3-0 game-two home domination of Al-Merrikh and won their series 4-2 on aggregate.

The two-game CAF Champions League final between USM Alger and TP Mazembe is slated to open at Algiers on October 31 with the return match to take place at Lubumbashi on November 8.  The winner would take part in December's FIFA Club World Cup, slated to take place in Japan.
