This Saturday, Real Bamako faces ES Zarzis in the return leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup. After winning the first leg 3-1 in Tunisia, the Malian club leads again at halftime (1-0), thanks to an early goal from Bourama Diallo.

The Malians quickly turned their dominance into points on the scoreboard. In the 4th minute, Bourama Diallo found the back of the net, giving Real Bamako the lead and temporarily strengthening his team's position in this two-legged tie.

With an unfavorable score and already trailing after the first leg, ES Zarzis will need to regroup after the break to hope for a turnaround. Meanwhile, Real Bamako is just 45 minutes away from the next stage, provided they maintain their lead.
