A 59th minute penalty converted by midfielder Maybin Mwaba gave Zesco the lead after a scoreless first half.
Striker Enoch Sakala, playing his first Champions League game against Africa Sports after missing out on the first leg due to suspension, made it 2-0 in the 69th minute.
Zesco win sees them advance to the second round 2-0 on aggregate after a 0-0 result from the first leg played in Abidjan on March 15.
Africa Sports had until today’s defeat ejected every Zambian opponent , in particular Nkana, in their last two outings in Caf club competition since 1986.
Zesco will now face either Djoliba of Mali or Club Africain of Tunisia away in the first leg, second round match during the weekend of April 18-19.
Djoliba who host Club Africain in Bamako this weekend and lead the latter 2-1 from the first leg played in Tunis a fortnight ago.

Shimaster it is most likely the team Djoliba from Mali they shall face, because it said they lead the latter on aggregate by two goals to one. Great results though.

Well-done Zescolo we need to be on a football positive note, we are tired of losing would be in order for me to say perhaps we are rising from the doldrums on the soccer scene?
