The two teams tied in the first leg, negatively, in the city of "Bouaké", and the Algerian team will meet in the final with Young Africans of Tanzania, who renewed their victory over Marumo Gallants, South Africa, 2-1.


The "Sostara" team took advantage of the ground workers and the crowd in the best way, to extend its control over the course from the start, as it created several opportunities, most notably Al-Saadi Al-Radwani's shot over the goal (25).


Khaled Bosilo scored the net, giving Al Ittihad the lead, after he made a skillful break and a powerful shot to the right of the Ivory Coast goalkeeper, following a deep pass from Al Radwani (27).
ASEC goalkeeper Charles Foley blocked a back header for Ayman Mahyous (34).


The guests extended their control in the second half, seeking to equalize and thus qualify, and the Algerian goalkeeper, Osama Bin Bout, distinguished himself in blocking many Ivorian opportunities, most notably Diarra's shot together (72).


And from a quick counterattack, Ismail Belkasmi doubled the Algerian team's superiority with a "Loeb" shot over the advanced goalkeeper Boli (80).


At the “Royal Bafokeng” stadium in the South African city of Rastenburg, Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi led Young Africans to the final round for the first time at the expense of Marumo Gallants, after defeating him 2-1 in the second leg, after defeating him 2-0 in the first leg.
Despite the control of the landowners, the Tanzanian team was the most dangerous, and Mudasir Yahya missed the opportunity to open the scoring by not being completely alone with Galants goalkeeper Washington Arubi from Zimbabwe, but he hit the goal (33).


Before the end of the first half, the Democratic Congolese gave Veston Miley the lead for the guests, after he singled himself out after a counterattack and hit hard, the goalkeeper tried to block it, but it bounced back to Veston, so he followed it into the net (45 + 1).


In the second half, "Yanga" continued his dangerous rebounds, and added the second goal through Zambian Kennedy Musonda, by following up Miley's cross into the goal (62).


Ranga Shivaferu scored for the South African team with his header after Lucky Mohomi's cross (90 + 1).


This is the second time that Nabi reaches the continental final, after he succeeded in the same thing with the Congolese Leopard de Dolisi in 2012, as he led him to the title at the financial expense of Djoliba.
The final matches of the tournament will be held on May 28 and June 3.
