After a cagey first half, Yanga found the breakthrough in the 58th minute when Prince Dube reacted quickest inside the box to steer home the winner.
In Berkane, Shummah was also handed a start by Power Dynamos as they went 3-0 down to hosts RS Berkane.
The Moroccan side struck early, first benefiting from an own goal in the 13th minute when Aaron Katebe inadvertently turned the ball into his own net. Just three minutes later, Haytam Manaout unlocked the defence with an incisive assist that found Mounir Chouiar, who finished clinically into the bottom-left corner to give Berkane a 2–0 lead inside 16 minutes.
The hosts continued to dominate after the break, maintaining composure and control in midfield. Their superiority was rewarded again in the 65th minute when they earned a penalty. Paul Valère Bassène stepped up and converted with confidence, placing his effort down the centre to make it 3–0.
Shummah was substituted later in the second half but Emmanuel Osoro, another Kenyan in the Dynamos team, didn’t even make the bench.
