Rare CAF Confederation Cup success for Mauritius
27.08.19 / 08:20
The team from the Indian Ocean island emulated Vacoas and Port Louis by winning the preliminary tie 3-2 on aggregate after building a 3-1 first-leg advantage two weeks ago over Botswana's Jwaneng.
Launched in 2004, the Confederation Cup is the second-tier African club competition, partly modelled on the UEFA Europa League, and it replaced the African Cup Winners Cup and CAF Cup.
Gift Moyo scored for Jwaneng after 65 minutes of the return match to set up a tense finish as a second unanswered goal for the hosts would have squeezed them through on away goals.
Instead, Bolton will face Zanaco of Zambia in the round of 32 during September with the overall winners advancing to a play-off against a CAF Champions League last-32 loser.
