Esperance moved to the top of Champions League Group B after a 1-0 away victory at Ivorian side Sewe Sports last Sunday.
The Tunisian club, who have featured in the last three Champions League finals, lead the group on goal difference from Cameroon outfit, Coton Sport , who were 2-1 victors over Angola's Recreativo Libolo .
Esperance’s victory in San Pedro owed much to a superb performance from their goalkeeper, Moez Ben Cherifia (pictured top), who produced a number of outstanding saves to keep his side in front.
After a scoreless first half, Esperance took the lead in 48 minutes through Oussama Darragi but then relied on Ben Cherifia to secure victory.
Good fortune also favoured Esperance when Sewe's Ocansey Mandela crashed the ball against the visitors' crossbar.
Coton Sport were worthy winners over Recreativo, thanks to goals in either half from Alexis Yougouda, the top scorer in the tournament with six, and Emmanuel Mbongo.
