Petrojet advanced to the CAF Confederation Cup round of 32 after beating Miembeni 2-0 in the preliminary round on Sunday.

In the first leg, the Petroleum side played out a draw 2-2 at the lowly Zanzibari side, which makes the aggregate result 4-2 for the Egyptian Premier League outfit.

Eric Bekoe broke the deadlock after a goalless first half on 55 minutes upon sending a powerful shot into the roof of the net from close range.

The Ghanaian scorer turned provider five minutes past the hour mark to set up Ahed Abdul-Maguid with a deft cross, and the latter made no mistakes from inside the area.

Petrojet got the upper hand throughout the game, but were evidently wasteful in the first period.

Amr Hassan came close to opening the scoring on 49 minutes when his cross-come-shot hit the right post.

The ball then fell into the path of Abdul-Maguid, who saw his effort denied by the other post.

Mokhtar Mokhtar's men maintained their dominance after taking a two-goal lead.

The in-form Bekoe had a chance to score late in the 84th minute, but the keeper parried his fierce header.
