Zambian side Zesco United claimed an excellent away point when they drew 1-1 at Primeiro de Agosto in their CAF Champions League Group A clash in Luanda on Saturday.

The home side took a ninth minute lead when Cristovao Mabululo netted, but Zesco were not behind long, equalising shortly afterwards through defender Clement Mwape.

Neither side could find a winner after that, as Zesco held on for a valuable away point.

TP Mazembe lead the pool after the opening round of matches after their 3-0 success over Zamalek earlier on Saturday.

Mazembe now travel to Zesco next Saturday, while Zamalek host Primeiro de Agosto on the same day.
