The result leaves everything to play for ahead of the return leg at the FNB Stadium next week, with both sides eyeing a spot in the competition’s group stages.

It was a match of limited chances for the South African giants, who had to dig deep under the scorching skies of Lubumbashi. The compact TP Mazembe Stadium, filled to its near 18,500 capacity, provided a hostile atmosphere that made life difficult for Amakhosi.
