Simba shock V Club, Mouloudia defy Zamalek in CAF Champions League Johannesburg (AFP) – A Chris Mugalu penalty gave Simba of Tanzania a shock 1-0 win at V Club of the Democratic Republic of Congo Friday as the CAF Champions League group stage kicked off.
The other opening day match also produced an unexpected result with 2020 runners-up Zamalek of Egypt held 0-0 at home by Mouloudia Alger of Algeria.
Simba may have surprised Plateau United of Nigeria in a qualifier, but they travelled to Kinshasa with understandable trepidation after being hammered 5-0 there by V Club two seasons ago.
But there was to be no repeat of that performance from the Congolese club, who were African champions in 1973 and finished runners-up seven years ago.
