Nigerian side Heartland beat Monomotapa of Zimbabwe 3-1 in Group B of the African Champions League on Sunday.
Heartland hit the ground running in the first minute when Ike ThankGod took advantage of a mix-up in the visitors defence to put his side in the lead.
Uche Agba doubled Heartland's lead on 25 minutes with a strike from the edge of the box before Ikechukwu Ibenegbu made it 3-0 just after the break.
Daniel Kamunenga got the consolation goal for Monomotapa in the 46th minute.
The win for Heartland leaves the group wide open as all the four clubs are tied with three points apiece.
But Heartland and Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia have the edge at top the group because of their better goal difference.
This comes after Etoile secured a crucial 2-1 win over visitors TP Mazembe of the DR Congo in Group B's other game on Saturday.
Mazembe opened the scoring against the run of the play through striker Luyeye Mvete.
But Ammar Jemal brought the 2007 African Champions level from the spot after a foul on Sadat Bukari.
Defender Aymen Abdennour then found the target to ensure all three points.
Etoile and Mazembe have three points along with Zimbabwe's Monomotapa, who beat the Tunisians in the opening game.
