Cameroon's Cotton to Host Al Masry in Confederation Cup

Cameroon's Cotton will host on Sunday Egypt's Al Masry in the opening match of the Confederation Cup group stage.

Egypt representatives Pyramids FC and Al Masry qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup group-stages following tough victories over AS Maniema Union of DR Congo and Nigeria’s Rivers United.

Pyramids beat Tanzania’s Azam FC in the second round, before being drawn against AS Maniema Union, who were knocked out of the CAF Champions League by Mamelodi Sundowns.

The first-leg took place at the Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa and the Egyptians returned back to Cairo with a valuable 1-0 victory from there.

In the second-leg, Pyramids were the dominant side and repeated their victory with the only goal of the night coming in the 36th minute through Ibrahim Adel, who was sent through on goal by Ramadan Sobhi.

The hosts could have scored way more but kept missing the chances, while their opponent’s only real chance came in the 63rd minute, but were denied by Sherif Ekramy after a one-on-one chance.

Meanwhile, in Port-Said, Al Masry had a way difficult task, having suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Nigeria’s Rivers United at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba in the first-leg.

Al Masry went through to the play-offs after beating Uganda’s URA Football Club in the second round with a scoreline of 1-0 while Rivers United were knocked out from the Champions League by Al Hilal of Sudan.
