Chadian striker Ezechiel N'Douassel
Striker Ezechiel N'Douassel scored three goals as Tunisian side Club Africain qualified for the Confederation Cup fourth round with a 5-2 aggregate victory over Swaziland's Royal Leopards on Saturday.
Leopards levelled the aggregate score when they stunned the hosts with a 5thminute-goal by Mduduzi Gama but N'Douassel, who also scored the only goal in Africain's 1-0 first-leg win away from home, equalized 10 minutes later.
Zouelli restored Leopards' advantage on 29 minutes but the in-form N'Douassel completed his hat-trick with two second-half goals. Africain pushed forward to score the decisive goal and were rewarded when Hamza Agrebi converted a penalty eight minutes past the hour mark which lifted the Tunisians through.
Africain finished as runners-up in last season's Confederation Cup after losing to Morocco's Maghreb de Fes in the final.
