Angola’s Petro de Luanda secured an important 2-0 away victory over ES Sahel in Tunisia to further boost their chances of progression in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League on Saturday evening.

The Angolan side continued their good start to the group campaign after last weekend’s narrow 1-0 victory over Al Hilal, with Saturday’s victory now taking them to six points at the top of Group C thanks to the brace scored by Alexandre Guedes in both halves.

This was ES Sahel’s second consecutive loss following their derby loss to ES Tunis in their opening group match last weekend.

The Group C results sees the Angolans top the group ahead of Al-Hilal and ES Tunis who are equal on 3 points, while ES Sahel languish at the bottom of the group with point to their name.
