BRAZZAVILLE, Congo (Interstat) — AS Otoho opened its CAF Confederation Cup campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over South Africa’s Stellenbosch FC on Sunday at Stade Alphonse Massamba-Débat.

Forward Baraka Koné led the rout with two goals, opening his account in the 43rd minute and adding another in the 79th. Teammate Pomi Nzaou opened the scoring in the 38th minute. Substitutes Unathi Mdaka and Oscarine Masuluke, along with midfielder Venold Dzaba, each provided an assist.

The match featured three yellow cards in a physical first half. The result exceeded the pregame projection from Interstat, which gave Otoho a 74% chance to win but predicted only a 1-0 scoreline. Otoho begins group play with a win, while Stellenbosch starts with a loss.
