The initial draw had been
made for all knock-out rounds in advance.
So it has led to a scheme
in which the winners of the first round already know their possible opponents
in the second round.
It is unknow which effect
seeding has had on the draw but it has lead to some quite unbalanced 'quartets'.
While the Nigerian, Egyptian, and Tunisian champions seem to face relatively
easy tasks it can be called a very difficult draw especially for Ivorian
champions ASEC and as well for title holders Hearts Of Oak from Accra,
Ghana.
In the same time one of
the long time absentees, either Algerian, Zambian, Sudanese, or Libyan
champions will get a place in the league.
So the determination of the
8 group finalists can be shown in the following scheme:

African Champions League
1st round 1st leg matches
While Julius Beger of Nigeria
did their homework against the champions of tiny Equatorial Guinea Sony
Ela Nguema, winning 5:0, some narrow results are surprising: Espérance
Tunis, one of Africas dominationg clubs for years could only beat JS Ténére
of Niger (not Nigeria) by one goal and now will have to concentrate in
the return match. Respectable results also on a lower level for outsoders
when Burundi and Sechelles champions achieved promising results at Uganda
and Reunion.
Al Ahly Cairo also did the
necessary in beating Eritrea's Red Sea 3:0 while on Sunday South Africa's
Mamelodi Sundowns had a disappointing 0:0 draw with the Mozambique champions
Costa do Sol.
Two matches have been postponed
for a week because the involvement of players in the African Under 20 Championship:
Hearts Of Oak (Ghana) - Étoile du Congo (Congo) and St. George (Ethiopia)
- Tusker (Kenya)

matches: Espérance Tunis, Raja Casablanca, CR Belouizidad (Algeria),
and Tusker from Kenya are the first teams to have qualified for the round

meanwhile the trend upwards
for Sudanese football and downwards for Zambian football has been confirmed
by the elimination of the Zambian champions Power Dynamos by their Sudanese
counterparts Al-Merreikh.
St.Michel United from the
Seychelles surprised Reunion champions Marsouins by an injury time winning
goal.
unconfirmed Sundays results
see Mamelodi Sundowns qualify thanks to an away victory while Highlanders
from Zimbabwe surprisingly quit the comepetition losing at home to the
Tanzanian champions.
Ghana's Hearts Of Oak win
their delayed first leg home match after a halftime deadlock by 3:1and
Angolas Petro Atletico keep the upper hand in a 3:2 thriller against Cameroon
champions Fovu de Baham after the first leg had ended in a 2:2 draw.
