Tunisia's Esperance made it five wins out of six matches after beating Cameroon's Coton Sport 2-1 on Saturday.

Both sides had already secured their place in the competition's semi-final before the game, with Esperance topping the group and Coton Sport finishing as runners-up.

Esperance, who fielded a second-string starting line-up against Coton, maintained their impressive run with a narrow victory away from home.

Khaled Gharsellaoui put the visitors ahead after seven minutes and Ahmed Akaichi doubled their lead on 24 minutes.

Daouda Kamilou scored a consolation for Coton Sport in stoppage time.

Last year's runners-up Esperance finished Group B with 15 points, the best tally for any team since 1999. Coton Sport have eight points.

In the other group game, Angola's Recreativo do Libolo played out a 2-2 draw with Ivorian outfit Sewe Sport.

Three teams have already advanced to the last four: Esperance, Coton Sport and defending champions Ahly. They will be joined by either Leopards of Congo or South Africa's Orlando Pirates.
