Johannesburg - Democratic Republic of Congo club MK Etancheite scored four goals within 28 minutes to crush Sudanese visitors Al-Ahly Shendy 5-1 this weekend in the CAF Confederation Cup.
The unexpectedly easy round-of-32 triumph gave the Kinshasa outfit a 6-3 aggregate victory after trailing 2-1 from the first leg three weeks ago.
Next up for the Congolese in the second-tier CAF club competition will be Nigerians Warri Wolves or Ethiopians Dedebit, who trail 2-0 going into the return match at home.
Dark Kabangu triggered the Etancheite goal avalanche after just three minutes at Stade Tata Raphael and struck again during a blitz in which Mombo Lusala and Losiyo Bofumbo were the other scorers.
The stunned Sudanese reduced the arrears before half-time through Mustafa Saeed only for Ngoma Lwamba to restore the four-goal difference early in the second half.
It was a dramatic improvement in home form by Etancheite after only drawing 1-1 with Congo Brazzaville opponents Etoile in the preliminary round.
Algerians ASO Chlef edged Guinean visitors Horoya 1-0 at Stade Mohamed Boumezrag and then triumphed 5-3 on penalties to set up a last-16 date with Tunisians Club Africain.
Mohamed Namani claimed the lone goal on 48 minutes to cancel the 1-0 lead Horoya established in a first leg switched from Guinea to Mali because of the Ebola epidemic.
