African Interclubs Competition: TP Mazembe of Lubumbashi pulls off a major feat in Ghana

TP Mazembe of Lubumbashi made a strong statement in their opening fixture, securing a hard-fought 1-0 away victory against Ghana’s Medeama, courtesy of a decisive 86th-minute strike by Lise Nyembo.

This triumph marks the club's return to the CAF Champions League stage following an absence. The impressive away win underscores the renewed continental ambitions of the Ravens for the new campaign.

The performance has immediately reignited morale among the supporters of the Lubumbashi-based club, who are already mobilizing en masse to give the team a rousing reception and pack their legendary Stade de Kamalondo for the return leg.

Armed with a one-goal aggregate advantage from Ghana, the Ravens must finish the job on home soil this weekend to officially secure their ticket to the next round and reassure fans of their renewed resilience.
