TP Mazembe closed in on a fifth African title with a thrilling 2-1 victory in Algeria against USM Alger in the first leg of the CAF Champions League final. futseller fifa 16 Both sides had a player red-carded and the referee awarded two penalties. The winner of the competition will represent the continent at the FIFA Club World Cup later this year.

Mazembe too strong
USM Alger's hopes of becoming the fourth Algerian club to win the show-piece event of African club football suffered a serious set-back at home in the Omar Hammady Stadium as Rainford Kalaba and Mbwana Samatta secured a 2-1 victory for the visiting TP Mazembe side. Mohamed Seguer's goal for USM in the dying minutes came too late to deny the Congolese side a deserved win.

The opening goal midway through the first half came after a stroke of genius from Kalaba. The Zambian deftly controlled a high cross outside the area, let the ball bounce once before slamming a shot past the outstretched hands of goalkeeper Lamine Zemmamouche. The visitors could have doubled their lead shortly afterwards, but Zemmamouche pulled off a great save to deny Nathan Sinkala in a one-on-one situation.

Kalaba was then sent off just before the break for an off-the-ball incident and USM must have fancied their chances to get back into the match. However, they too were reduced to ten men in the 67th minute, when Hocine El Orfi was sent off for a second booking after handling the ball. Although Sinkala missed the penalty, Les Corbeaux made the most of the ten-on-ten situation when Samatta was sent through and could only be brought down by a foul. The Tanzanian international stepped up himself and beat Zemmamouche.

Seguer pulled one back for USM late in the game after the Mazembe defence failed to clear. The forward managed to beat one marker before scoring from the edge of the area with a well-struck shot that gave veteran goalkeeper Robert Kidiaba no chance.

Although Mazembe will go into the return leg as the favourites, they are adamant that there is still a lot of work to be done. "We are not yet champions. We played well against a good opponent. They have shown in the competition that they are a strong side, but nothing is finalised. There is still the second leg. We have not won anything yet," said goalscorer Samatta.
