South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns were beaten 1:0 away to Zimbabwe's Chicken Inn on Saturday, as the African Champions League first round first leg upsets continued.

Sundowns, along with Kaizer Chiefs, were hoping to lead another charge by South African clubs to rule the continent, after both clubs exited the competition in the first round last season.

But a solitary goal from Mischeck Katsvairo in the first half gave Chicken Inn a surprise win in Bulawayo.

The two will meet in the second leg in Pretoria in two weeks time, when Sundowns will be under pressure, considering they play in the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) which is one of the richest leagues on the continent.

The PSL season has reached the halfway mark, but the league in Zimbabwe has not yet started. Kaizer Chiefs, also of South Africa, are away to Volcan Club of Comoros Island on Sunday.

Tanazania's Young Africans were the first of Saturday's winners, beating Cercle de Joachim 1:0 in Mauritius thanks to a goal from Zimbabwe midfielder Donald Ngoma on 16 minutes.

On Friday, the upsets began in the very first game of this year's African Champions League as Uganda's Vipers won their first ever continental club match beating visiting Enyimba of Nigeria 1:0.

Erisa Sekisambu, who was part of the team at the recent African Nations Championship in Rwanda, scored the only goal of the game for the Ugandan champions in the 72nd minute.

The goal was set up by a deep pass from Keziron Kizito but it was Sekisambu's skill that ultimately beat the Enyimba defence.

He was left with plenty to do as he picked up the ball cut into the area before dribbling past Akabueze John Uche feigning to pass and finally hitting the ball into the roof of the net.

There was some groans around the Nakivubo Stadium in central Kampala as fans thought he has only hit the side netting but they soon turned to cheers as they realised what he had done.

Vipers overcame the two-time African and current Nigerian champions without several key players including striker Farouk Miya, who has joined Belgian club Standard Liege.

The second leg is on the last weekend of February in the Nigerian city of Aba.

Also on Friday, Olympique Khourigba of Morocco beat Gambian League champions Gamtel 2:1 in Marrakech in their first leg.

Gamtel went ahead through a thunderous strike from Modou Sarr.

But the host side came back with goals from Ibrahim.
