Congolese side Leopards clinched their first ever continental title after winning the Confederation Cup at the expense of Malian side Djoliba on Sunday.

Leopards, who held Djoliba to a 2-2 draw in last week's first leg in Mali, beat the visitors 2-1 to lift the trophy with a 4-3 aggregate win.

This title is the first for the Central African Country since 1974 when CARA won the African Champions Cup at the expense of Egyptian side Ghazl El- Mahalla.

Leopards will face Champions League winners Ahly, who won the title at the Expense of Tunisian giants Esperance, in the African Super Cup in February.
