Djoliba will face Champions League title holders Mazembe in the third round

Mali giants Djoliba have lined up a third round Champions League clash with holders TP Mazembe after edging past ASC Linguere on Monday.

Djoliba beat Senegalese side 4-3 on penalties in Dakar after their second round tie ended 1-1 on aggregate.

Linguere, buoyed by their passionate fans, won the second leg match in regulation time after a 38th minute strike by Moussa N'Gom.

The result left the tie levelled at 1-1 after Djoliba won the first leg 1-0 in Bamako two weeks ago.

But the visitors held their nerve in the penalty shoot-out, converting four spot-kicks to Linguere's three. Sixteen teams have now qualified for the third round of the competition and will again play over two legs, beginning 23 April, for a place in the eight-team group stage.
