LEADING scorer Fadel Keita struck after 31 minutes to give Africa Sports of Cote d’Ivoire a 1-0 home win over Club Africain of Tunisia in the first leg of the African Cup Winners Cup final at the weekend.
The victory margin would have been greater had the Abidjan club not wasted so many chances, including a first-half penalty kick that Brahima Kone fired wide.
The decisive goal was a family affair with Kader Keita setting up brother Fadel, who scored twice in the semi-final triumph over Orlando Pirates from South Africa.
Final action continues this weekend with Etoile Sahel of Tunisia defending a 1-0 CAF Cup lead over Wydad Casablanca in Morocco and Raja Casablanca hosting another Tunisian team, Esperance, in the Champions League.
