Mission accomplished for TP Mazembe. The Corbeaux beat Medeama SC 3-1 at home this afternoon, securing their place in the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.

Following their 1-0 win in the first leg in Ghana, the Congolese champions confirmed their superiority by beating Medeama SC 3-1.

A match they controlled from start to finish

In front of their home crowd, the Badiangwenas held their nerve. They opened the scoring as early as the 16th minute through Patrick Mwaungulu. Before the half-hour mark, Kasema Baso doubled the lead in the 24th minute. In the 76th minute, Malawian international Patrick Mwaungulu scored his second with a direct free-kick.

In the 87th minute, the Ghanaians struck back. Dominic Amponsah pulled one back, but the Congolese held their nerve. With this convincing 3–1 victory, Mazembe left Medeama SC with no chance of turning the two-legged tie around.

Back to the Champions League

Absent from the African stage last season, Tout Puissant Mazembe have made a strong start. With this qualification, the club aims to mark its return to the knockout stages of the 2026–2027 CAF Champions League. The objective is clear: to return to the very top of the continent. The five-time African champions now head to the second qualifying round.
