Manqoba Mngqithi guided Young Africans to an emphatic 4-0 win over CFFA in the first leg of their CAF Champions League second round tie on Saturday.

The Tanzanian champions broke the deadlock in the 39th minute through Cheikh Toure, before Albert Kangwanda doubled the lead two minutes after the restrart.

Mudathir Yahya made it 3-0 in the 54th minute, while Democratic Republic of Congo attacker Maxi Nzengeli completed the rout five minutes later.

Mngqithi and his troops have one foot in the group stage of Africa's premier club competition, having secured a staggering four away goals.

Notably, Yanga beat Botswana champions Gaborone United 3-2 on aggregate in the first preliminary round - winning at home after a draw on the road.

Appointed at the beginning of the season, the South African tactician has been tasked with mounting a deep run in the Champions League.

TimuYaWananchi have crashed out in the group stage in the past two campaigns, with the quarterfinals the furthest they have reached.

Having been backed with the marquee signing of Peter Shalulile and the return of Stephane Azi Ki, it remains to be seen whether Mngqithi will meet objectives.
