In its lair in Kamalondo, in the presence of its president, Moïse Katumbi, TP Mazembe failed to assert themselves against the giant of Africa. During the first half, the Ravens did not really manage to develop their play in a tight game. In the second period, the black and white would attempt several forays into the Egyptian camp without being decisive in the final action. The changes made by coach Lamine Ndiaye didn’t alter much. The two teams parted ways on equal terms with a goalless draw of zero goals each.

The return match is scheduled in a week in Cairo, Egypt. TP Mazembe will attempt the feat of eliminating the titleholder and record holder of Champions League victories (11 titles) in the semi-final. This semi-final stage is the 15th for this Egyptian club and the fifth in a row.
