This year's competition has a semi-final stage for the first time

Angola's Santos grabbed another win over an Egyptian side in the Confederation Cup with a 1-0 victory over Enppi on Sunday.

The win in the Group A game in Luanda comes two months after Santos knocked African champions Al Ahly out of the Confederation Cup.

Defender Caputo Chico scored the only goal of the game five minutes from time as he connected with a corner from Chinho to beat the Enppi goalkeeper.

In the other game in Group A a brace from striker Abdelmalek Ziaya was enough for Algeria's Entente Setif to beat Vita Club of DR Congo 2-0.

Ziaya scored the opener on 21 minutes before wrapping up victory his second three minutes past the hour mark.

Meanwhile on Saturday in Group B Stade Malien of Mali drew 0-0 at home to Angolan military club Primeiro Agosto.

In the other game in the group, Egyptian side Haras El Hadood were 1-0 home winners over Bayelsa United of Nigeria on Friday.

Mohammed El Herda scored the only goal of the game in Alexandria six minutes after the break.

The winning prize money has been doubled to US$660,000 this year, and the addition of semi-finals should generate more end-of-group excitement.
