Nigeria's Kano Pillars moved to the top of Group A in the African Champions League on goal difference with a 3-1 win over Al Merreikh of Sudan.
Victor Namo scored twice in the first half for Kano Pillars.
The Sudanese side were reduced to ten men after 53 minutes when Moussa El Tayeb was red carded for elbowing Namo.
Merriekh's caretaker coach Mohamed Abdullah was also sent off for protesting against El Tayeb's dimissal.
Nigerian striker Endurance Idahor gave the Sudanese side some hope when he pulled a goal back for Merreikh after 59 minutes.
Mosese Ogada made certain of the three points for Pillars with a strike in the 89th minute.
Sudan's Al Hilal are level on points with Kano at the top of Group A after a 1-0 victory over Zesco United of Zambia in Khartoum.
Al Hilal's Osama Altaewon scored the lone goal of Friday's game after nine minutes.
Despite the victory Hilal's Brazilian coach Paulo Campos was unhappy with his team's performance.
"I'm very satisfied with the victory, the three points were very important," he told BBC Sport.
"What I am not satisfied about is the performance I was expecting more and I'm sure the spectators were expecting more too.
"A lot of work has to be done, I've only been here two months and only time helps the players co-ordinate."
Zesco's technical director, Andre Mtine, felt his side improved as the game improved.
"In the first half we were a little nervous and we could have played a lot better," he said.
"We played much better in the second half but I also thought the officiating played a part.
"The goal they scored was a goal-kick but they were awarded a corner instead and from that we conceded the goal."
