Algerian JS Kabylie came back from a goal down to beat their visitors Ittihad of Libya 3-1, on Friday, to keep their hopes alive of going through to the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League.

Salem Al-Rawani broke the deadlock 18 minutes after the kick off. It took only three minutes before the hosts responded as Abou Bakr Othmani scored the equalizer.

Nabil Heymani put JS Kabylie ahead for the first time in the 54th minute before Youssef Saibi secures the full points of the game with a 69th-minute strike.

With only one match to go in the quarter-finals group stage, the Algerians are third with six points, 4 behind leaders Etoile du Sahel and just a step behind second-placed Ittihad of Libya.

Tunisian giants Etoile du Sahel, who have already secured their spot in the semis, will face Moroccans FAR Rabat, 3 points, on Sunday in Tunisia.
