Group E of the CAF Confederation Cup delivered two goalless draws on Matchday 2, leaving little room for movement in the standings. With tight competition at both ends of the table, teams are vying for every point to gain an edge in the group stage.
In Bamako, Pyramids FC of Egypt secured a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Djoliba AC. The Malian side slightly dominated proceedings, creating multiple chances but failing to convert. Djoliba pushed hard for a home win to kickstart their campaign but were met with a disciplined defensive display from Pyramids. The Egyptian side’s approach prioritized resilience, ensuring they left Mali with a valuable point on the road. Both teams will rue their missed opportunities but take some solace in the shared spoils.
Meanwhile, Sagrada Esperança hosted ES Tunis in Angola, with the visitors largely dominating possession and chances. However, ES Tunis was unable to break through a determined Sagrada defense, and the match ended in another 0-0 draw. Sagrada, buoyed by home support, managed to contain the Tunisians, but their own attacking efforts lacked the precision needed to capitalize on their chances.
