Two minutes later, former Ghana U-20 winger Kwabena Adu Meider doubled their lead with a well-placed strike.

Rahman scored his second goal in the 36th minute, finishing off a low cross from Shaibu Iddrisu.

Elect Sport's situation worsened when their goalkeeper, Mahamat Bechir, was sent off in the 54th minute for handling the ball outside the penalty area.

Despite having a numerical advantage, Nsoatreman couldn't add to their lead, with Stephen Diyou hitting the post in the 70th minute.

Goalkeeper Daniel Afazdwu made three crucial saves to secure a clean sheet in their debut CAF Confederation Cup match.

The second leg will take place in N'Djamena on August 24, 2024, where Nsoatreman will aim to secure their spot in the next round.
