Petro Luanda completed the group stage without losing a game, and without conceding a goal as well.
The Angolans have been in good shape since the commencement of the competition.
In Luanda, Petro beat Etoile du Sahel 2-0 to finish off the group stage in a grand style.
Goals from Jonathan Toro in the first half and Julinho in the second half condemned the Tunisians to another defeat in the group stage.
Esperance needed to avoid defeat against Al Hilal from Sudan and duly did that. Yassine Meriah’s first-half goal ensured Esperance Tunis’ progress to the knockout stage of the CAF Champions League.
Al Hilal was hopeful of securing a victory in Tunisia to qualify but fell short as they couldn’t convert any of their chances to goals.
