The road to Champions League glory faced its first hurdle as TP Mazembe played out a goalless draw against Petro Atletico de Luanda in the quarter-final first leg. Despite their best efforts to breach the Angolan defense, the Ravens were unable to find the back of the net, leaving local supporters yearning for more excitement.
Coach Lamine N’Diaye opted for an attacking formation, deploying a Beya-Traoré-Kabwit attacking trio. However, the team struggled to penetrate Petro Atletico’s solid defense, with striker Oscar Kabwit squandering a few opportunities in the first half.
In the second half, N’Diaye’s tactical tweaks failed to yield results, even with substitutions like Ngimbi and Fofana. The injury to Keita further complicated TP Mazembe’s situation, necessitating a stellar performance in the return leg in Luanda.
