APR's Jimmy Gatete played at the Cup of Nations for Rwanda

Rwandan side APR secured a famous victory when knocking Egyptian giants Zamalek out of the African Champions League on Saturday.

The Rwandans trailed 3-2 from the first leg, but won 4-1 at home to go through to the second round.

Zamalek actually took the lead in Kigali after Tarek Abedlhamid opened the scoring after 12 minutes.

Yet APR replied in style as Marc Silengo, Rwandan international Jimmy Gatete and Hamuguni Makombe fired home before half-time.

Jimmy Mulisa, another Rwandan international, wrapped up the victory after 80 minutes when scoring APR's fourth to send the Rwandans through 6-4 on aggregate.

Meanwhile, defending champions Enyimba survived a scare in Dakar when playing Diaraf.

The Nigerians led 3-0 from the first leg, but were beaten 2-0 in Senegal.

Enyimba thus won through to the second round 3-2 on aggregate, and will now meet either Petro Atletico of Angola or Zimbabwe's AmaZulu in the second round.

Bakili Bullets of Malawi are also through to the next round after edging out Zanaco of Zambia on a penalty shoot-out.

After the first leg had finished 1-0 to Bullets, Zanaco won by the same scoreline in Blantyre to force the shoot-out.

Home goalkeeper Swadick Sanudi covered himself in glory as he saved three of the Zambians' five penalties as Bullets won the shoot-out 6-5.

Earlier, Cosmas Banda scored the all-important goal for Zanaco as he headed home Newa Mwewa's cross.

The match was played before 50,000 supporters after President Bakili Muluzi, who bankrolls the Bullets, paid for all the seats at the Chichiri stadium.

South Africa's SuperSport United also reached the second round after beating Mauritania's Port Louis 2-0 to win through 3-1 on aggregate.

Abram Raselemane opened the scoring twenty minutes into the match, before a late own goal by Thierry Caleb made SuperSport's victory secure.

In Johannesburg, Orlando Pirates joined SuperSport in the next round by thumping St Michel of the Seychelles 5-1 to go through 8-3 on aggregate.

There were no goals in the North African clash between Hassania Agadir of Morocco and Tunisia's Etoile Sahel.

The visiting Tunisian side had won the first game 2-0 so went through by that margin on aggregate, while Algeria's USM Alger also made it through the first round.

The Algerians drew 2-2 against Burkinabe side ASFA Yennenga in Ouagadougou to secure a comprehensive 10-3 aggregate victory.
