Tanzania's renowned football powerhouse, Young Africans, embarked on their CAF Champions League journey with a triumphant start, securing a victory against ASAS FC from Djibouti.
The match unfolded at the Chamazi Complex in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, showcasing Young Africans' prowess on the continental stage.
Under the guidance of coach Angel Miguel Gamondi, Young Africans emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline.
The goals for the visiting team were netted by Ivorian midfielder Stephanie Aziz KI and Zambian forward Kennedy Musonda.
Uganda Cranes' assistant captain, Khalid Aucho, was a notable presence on the field, delivering a solid performance over 84 minutes of play.
Operating in the pivotal defensive midfield role, Aucho played a vital role in thwarting the opponents' attacks.
As 'Tiimu ya Wanainchi' sets its sights on reaching the CAF Champions League group stages, a feat that has yet to be accomplished since 1998, Aucho's compatriot, Gift Fred, continues to await his debut. Fred remained absent from the 18-man squad in the match.
A promising development for Young Africans came when CAF confirmed that the upcoming return leg of the fixture, scheduled for August 26th, will still take place at the Chamazi Complex.
Should the 29-time champions of the Tanzanian Premier League emerge triumphant over the aggregate score, they will secure a chance to face either Sudanese club El Merreikh or AS Otoho from Congo Brazzaville in the subsequent stage.
Despite their remarkable domestic achievements with consecutive treble wins, Young Africans faced disappointment in pursuing the season's first silverware.
In a recent face-off against arch-rivals Simba SC in the Charity Shield, both teams settled for a goalless draw. The subsequent penalty shootout saw Young Africans narrowly defeated by Simba SC.
