Nigerian club Plateau United crashed out of the CAF Confederation Cup on Wednesday with a late collapse in Libya costing them a group place. Plateau, downgraded to the Confederation Cup after losing to Esperance Tunis in the CAF Champions League last month, looked set to win the play-off when trailing 1-0 on 85 minutes. Berkane, who reached three of the last four Confederation Cup finals and won two, were held 0-0 by Tunisian visitors US Monastir and lost the tie 1-0 on aggregate. Former African champions Club Africain would have fancied their chances of making the 16-team group draw after forcing a 0-0 draw against Young Africans in Tanzania last week. Story continuesRecord three-time Confederation Cup winners Sfaxien trailed ASKO Kara 2-1 after the first leg, but few gave the Togolese any hope of surviving the return match.
