Sampson Adedeji

Somalia side Gaadiika FC nearly caused a major upset on the opening day of the CAF Champion League as they held APR FC of Rwanda to a draw, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Playing at the King Pele stadium in Kigali, the game started on a bright note for both teams as they made incursions into the half of each other.

APR goalkeeper Ndzila went from his line to go as far as the corner flag to clear a harmless ball. 

His clearance fell to Nicholas Kagaba who curled the ball from 25 yards straight into the net in the 32nd minute.

The second half saw APR lifting their game and they scored the equalizer in the 47th minute through Victor Mbaoma. Right back Omborenga Fitina went on an overlapping run before crossing the ball to Mbaoma who fired home inside the penalty box to make it 1-1.

Gaadiidka will use Kigali Pelé Stadium as their home ground when the teams face off in the second leg Thursday, August 24. The winner will face the Egyptian side Pyramids in the next round.
