Tunisian club side Club Africain of Tunisia won and InterClube of Angola lost on Sunday to swop places at the top of the table after the final African Confederation Cup Group A matches. The Tunis team finished first with 11 points followed by the Luanda side a point behind and the lower placings also changed with ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast coming third on seven points and Kaduna United of Nigeria last with two fewer. Club Africain will play Sunshine Stars of Nigeria and unbeaten Group B winners Moghreb Fes of Morocco meet InterClube in the semi-finals during October as the pursuit of a 660,000-dollar first prize intensifies. Chaker Rguii, a 24-year-old Tunisian midfielder, converted a penalty on the stroke of half-time to give Club Africain a 1-0 victory over Kaduna in the northern Nigerian city. United needed maximum points to squeeze into the last four on the head-to-head rule only to let down again by poor home form as they gathered just four points from a possible nine in the mini-league phase of the second-tier competition. Club Africain are the only semi-finalists to have triumphed in Africa having lifted the African Champions Cup -- later renamed the African Champions League 20 years ago with a 7-3 aggregate triumph over Nakivubo Villa of Uganda. ASEC, also former African champions, rounded off a disappointing pool campaign with a 1-0 win over InterClube thanks to a mid-first half goal from Hugues Zagbayou in Ivorian commercial capital Abidjan.
