Abu Salim football team won 1-0 against the Angolan Sagrada Esperança team at 19 May 1956 Stadium in Algeria on Sunday evening in the second round of the second group of the CAF Confederation Cup.
The only goal of the match was scored by Abdelmonem Okasha. With this result, Abu Salim won its first match in the group stage, bringing the team’s tally to three points from two matches.
This victory is considered historic for the Abu Salim team because it is its first African participation in its history and the first nomination for the group stage, as Abu Salim ranks now second in the group with three points behind Zamalek from Egypt, the group's leader.
Libya's second representative in the competition, Al Hilal, lost to its guest Modern Future from Egypt 1-2 on Sunday evening at the Benina Martyrs Stadium in Benghazi in the second round of the first group of the CAF Confederation Cup.
