Azulao converted a 48th-minute penalty to double the lead and punished a Cape Town blunder to complete the surprisingly comfortable victory with a tap-in on 63 minutes. Azulao, who joined Petro in 2020 from Cypriot club Olympiakos Nicosia, was the leading scorer in the 2021-2022 Champions League with seven goals. While Petro are appearing in the Champions League a 21st time, Cape Town have qualified for the first time after finishing runners-up in the South African Premiership. Three-time African champions Raja are even more comfortably placed after a 2-0 victory over Nigelec of Niger in Niamey.
