Confederation Cup: Kaduna United Lose In Algeria

Algeria’s Entente Sportive de Setif managed to beat Kaduna United of Nigeria 1-0 in a CAF Confederation Cup fourth round, first leg match Saturday.

Reports from Algeria say Midfielder Abderahmane Hachoud won the match for his club with a 77th minute goal at the Stade du Mai 8 1945.

The Nigerian team must win the return leg match slated for Kaduna in a fortnight convincingly to qualify for the money-spinning group stage of the competition.

Setif dropped to the Confederation Cup after they were eliminated from the prestigious CAF Champions League by Cameroon’s Cotonsports, while debutants Kaduna walked over Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia in the previous round of the Confederation Cup.

In another Confederation Cup match, Algeria’s JS Kabylie drew 1-1 at Diaraf of Senegal.
