AFRICAN CONFEDERATION CUP 2017- PLAY-OFFS - 2nd leg - all results

TP Mazembe 

The African Confederation Cup holders, TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo, booked their place in the group phase of this year's tournament with a 0:0 draw away to JS Kabylie in Algeria on Sunday.

Mazembe - who won the home leg of their play-off 2:0 last weekend - held off Kabylie's challenge to continue the defence of their crown.

There was a big shock in Abidjan as former African Champions League winners, Asec Mimosas, were knocked out by CF Mounana of Gabon.

Mimosas went into their home leg needing to overturn a 2:1 deficit from the first leg, but despite fielding a side including the likes of Burkina Faso star Aristide Bancé, the match ended 0:0 with Mounana going through 2:1 on aggregate.

Also on Sunday, Platinum Stars of South Africa squeezed past another Ivorian side AS Tanda to progress 5:4 on penalties after their tie had ended 2:2 on aggregate.

The South Africans went into their home leg in Rustenburg trailing 2:0 overall, but fought back to take the tie to spot-kicks and book their place in the group phase.

It was much more straightforward for another South African side, SuperSport United, who overwhelmed Liberia's Barrack Young Controllers 5:0 in Pretoria.

A hat-trick from Jeremy Brockie helped SuperSport United take the tie 6:1 on aggregate.

Sudan's Al Hilal Obeid defeated Ports Authority of the Gambia 3:0 at home to progress 4:1 on aggregate.
