Record Tanzanian champions Yanga SC made it to the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup against all expectations after edging out Club Africain 0-1 away at Stade Olympique Hamadi Agrebi in Rades, Tunisia on Wednesday night.Ivorian import Stephane Aziz Ki scored the all-important goal with a thunderous left kick in the 79th minute after being set up by Congolese forward Fiston Kalala Mayele.After forcing a barren draw in the first leg encounter played last week in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Club Africain were the firm favorites to progress before the home crowd, having in mind Yanga’s poor away record, but the night belonged to the Wananchi.Yanga imeandika historia ya kusisimua kwa ushindi muhimu uwanja wa ugenini ⚽Imedhihirisha umahiri wa Young Africans popote wanakufunga iwe nyumbani iwe ugenini.
