Ngezi have been knocked out of the CAF Champions League after losing in the preliminary round against AS Maniema of DRC.

The match was decided by a penalty shootout after the tie had ended in a goalless draw on aggregate.

The second leg was played at Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa.

Needing at least a draw with a goal to win the encounter, Ngezi had to find the passage through the penalties.

However, the Zimbabwe side’s Champions League road ended after losing the penalty shootout 4-3.

AS Maniema will now face Petro de Luanda of Angola, in the first round.
