Played at the Stade Cheikha Ould Boïdiya in Mauritania, the Sudanese giants delivered a spirited performance to maintain their perfect start to the group stage.

With the win, Al Hilal sit atop Group A with six points from two matches, followed by MC Alger, who defeated Young Africans 2-0 on Saturday.

Mazembe remain in third place with a single point, while Young Africans are rooted to the bottom after two consecutive losses.

Al Hilal will aim to maintain their momentum as they prepare to play MC Alger in their next clash on Saturday, while Mazembe face an uphill battle against Young Africans to revive their campaign on the same day.
