TP Mazembe of the DR Congo were crowned club champions of Africa
for a fifth time after a 2-0 victory over Algeria's USM Alger in the second leg
of the Champions League final.
The goals came from the Tanzanian
Mbwana Ally Samatta and Ivory Coast's Roger Assale in front of their home fans
in Lubumbashi.
The victory gave Mazembe a 4-1
triumph on aggregate, after the Congolese side had won 2-1 in the first leg in
Algiers last weekend.
Samatta broke the deadlock in the
75th minute, putting Mazembe ahead from the penalty spot after a foul by
Zinedine Ferhat on Roger Assale.
It was Samatta's seventh goal of
the campaign, to leave him as the joint leading scorer of this year's African
Champions League, alongside Bakry 'Al Medina' Babiker of Sudan's Al Merrikh.
Assale made sure of the victory
with a goal four minutes into stoppage time, tapping in from close range after
Samatta spearheaded a counter-attack.
