Last year's African Champions League winners Mazembe scored an important away goal six minutes after half-time through Ivorian Roger Assale.

The other semi-final first leg is on Sunday as Algeria's Mouloudia Bejaia host FUS Rabat of Morocco.

Etoile and Mazembe have won nine African titles each, FUS Rabat won the tournament in 2010 leaving Bejaia chasing a first ever continental title.

Bejaia are coached by former Algeria defender Nacer Sandjak and have conceded only three goals, all away from home, in eight matches en route to the penultimate stage.

FUS, the only semi-finalists who did not begin this season in the Champions League, have struck 23 goals in 12 games.

Abdessalam Benjelloun and Mohamed Nahiri have both scored four each with another nine different players getting on the scoresheet during the tournament so far.
