A CAF Confederation Cup final between Tunisian clubs remained possible Sunday after CS Sfaxien won 2-0 at home and Etoile Sahel lost only 1-0 away in semi-final first legs.
Record three-time winners Sfaxien defeated Moroccan visitors Renaissance Berkane 2-0 in Mediterranean city Sfax through goals from Alaa Marzouki and captain Hamza Mathlouthi.
Etoile Sahel, who have won the African equivalent of the UEFA Europa League twice, fell 1-0 to Zamalek of Egypt in Alexandria with Mahmoud Kahraba scoring the only goal.
There has been an all-Tunisian Confederation Cup final with Sfaxien edging Etoile on away goals after both legs of the 2008 title decider were drawn.
The five titles won by Sfaxien and Etoile makes Tunisia the most successful country in the 16-year competition followed by Morocco with four victories.
