The match of the first leg of the final of the CAF played at the Benjamin Mkapa stadium this evening has ended with the visitors USM Alger emerging with a 2-1 victory
USM Alger's goals were scored by Mahious in the 32nd minute and Merili in the 86th minute, scoring two minutes after Fiston Mayele scored the equalizer for Yanga
Yanga dominated the game for most of the time but it was not easy to break through USM Alger's fortress who were playing more defensively while attacking on counters
The rain that continues to fall in Dar es Salaam seems to have reduced the enjoyment of the game which was witnessed by 60,000 fans
Yanga has another 90 minutes to fight away from home which the Citizens will need to win by at least two goals to be champions
