Medeama blow out Al-Ittihad

Abass Mohammed turned hero of the day when he powered Medeama SC to qualify for the next stage of the CAF Confederation Cup on a 2-1 aggregate over Libyan side Al-ittihad Tripoli.

The midfielder struck twice in the first half as the home side ran away with a 2-0 victory in their return leg clash at the Essipon Stadium in Sekondi.

In the 39th minute, he scored a brace to make victory and qualification certain for the home side who now face Sudanese side Al Ahly Shendi, who defeated FC Saint Eloi

Lupopo of DR Congo 1-0 yesterday to progress on the away goal’s rule after a 2-2 aggregate scoreline.

Coach Tom Strand’s side will first travel to the Sudan to face Al Ahly Shendi on the weekend of April 8-10 before hosting the return leg in Sekondi on the weekend of April 19- 20.
