By AFPMore by this AuthorJOHANNESBURGEast African clubs Al Hilal of Sudan, Gor Mahia of Kenya, Rayon Sports of Rwanda and Young Africans of Tanzania won Caf Confederation Cup play-offs Wednesday, despite second-leg losses. Caf club final victories by east African sides have been rare, with the last in 1989 when Al Merrikh of Sudan won the now defunct African Cup Winners Cup. Gor became the first Kenyan club to reach the group stage of a Caf competition despite conceding an own-goal in a 2-1 loss at 2017 runners-up SuperSport United of South Africa. Haron Shakava put the ball into his net on the hour, but Francis Kahata levelled almost immediately for the east Africans. Mohamed Azziz and Togolese Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba scored in eastern Morocco against opponents who had Khadim Diaw red-carded before half-time.
