And Egyptian side Pyramid beat Al Ahli Tripoli of Libya 2-1 to go top of Group A.
Zanaco coach Kelvin Kaindu went with a 4-5-1 formation and played a low a block for much of the match.

The bankers offered little in form of attack but did well to thwart most Sfaxien attacks with M’hango putting up a very good shift in defense.
With the game seemingly headed for a draw, Sfaxien were awarded a penalty in the last minute if additional time after Peter Kalota handled the ball inside the box.
