Khalid Aucho and Young AFricans grabbed an away advantage in the CAF Confederations Cup over Rivers United.
Ismail Watenga was unused on Sunday but will be content by the point that his side Marumo Gallants picked from Pyramids in their 1-1 draw in the CAF Confederations Cup.
Ranga Chivaviro had given the South Africans the lead in the 55th minute but Mpho Mvelase’s moment of madness in the extra time caused a penalty.
The right-back clumsily raised his hand to handle a Hamdy Sharaf’s cross with the referee pointing to the spot. Ramadan Sobhi calmly converted to split the points.
