Tunisian giants, Etoile du Sahel, won the new CAF
Confederation Cup after defeating Orlando Pirates of South
Africa 1-0 in the second leg of the final played at the
Olympic Stadium in Sousse, Tunisia, on Sunday afternoon.
The former African champions lifted the cup on 2-1 aggregate, africanFootball.com reports. The Tunisians scored the only goal through Ammar Jemal and then put up a superb defensive display to protect the narrow advantage. Needing an away goal after drawing 1-1 in the first leg in Soweto last week, the South Africans were unable to find the back of the net against Etoile’s impenetrable defence, though they can take pride from a performance in which they were arguably the better team throughout the 90 minutes.
