CS Constantine have cruised into the money zone of the 2024/25 CAF Confederations Cup after narrowly defeating Nsoatreman FC by 1-0 (3-0 on aggregate) at the Stade Hamlaoui Constantine.

The 'Efiri Tete Amanaso' side knew their ultimate task heading into this fixture was to overturn a tow-goal deficit and qualify having lost the first leg by 0-2 last week in Accra.

Whiles the hosts started the game with so much intensity looking to get more goals to finish the tie as early as possible, Nsoatreman looked calm and came in with a game plan of not conceding in the early stages.

CS Constantine were always explosive and found the back of the net on the 20th minute mark through Zakaria Benchaa as it finished 1-0 at half time.

In the second half, both teams this time returned explosively with the hosts still the dominant side and looked likely a goal will be registered again in the early stages.

The home team were dominating in every aspect having made series of attacks and came close on so many occasions but were all their efforts were checked by goalkeeper Sabi Acquah Ferdinand.

Despite creating more chances as the game progressed, there was no goal produced again as it finished 3-0 on aggregate in favour of CS Constantine who are through to the group stage of the 2024/25 CAF Confederations Cup.
