BIGGIES WIN IN CUP WINNERS CUP

BIG-name outfits achieved satisfactory away results in the Cup Winners Cup with Canon Yaounde of Cameroon and Al-Merreikh of Sudan winning and Zamalek of Egypt and Royal Armed Forces of Morocco drawing. Canon triumphed 1-0 over Coast Stars in Kenya through a late first-half goal from Robert Jamamba and Abbas Zaki and Said Al-Zanzon had Al-Merreikh comfortably placed in Uganda before Hamisi Kitagenda struck for Mbale Heroes. Mohammed Hussein gave Young Africans of Tanzania an early lead over Zamalek only for Basioun Abdelhamid to level and Etoile Filante and Royal Armed Forces failed to score in Burkina Faso. Walid Chettaoui struck with two minutes left to earn CA Bizerte of Tunisia a 2-0 CAF Cup victory over Armed Forces from Burkina Faso, who had fallen behind to a George Anderson goal during the first half.
