    Former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Alex Song could not prevent his new club, Arta Solar 7 of Djibouti, from losing at home in a CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round first leg.

    Burkinabe Farouk Kabore scored on 24 minutes to give Egyptian club Al Mokawloon Al Arab (formerly Arab Contractors) a 1-0 victory in Djibouti City despite an energetic showing by the 33-year-old Cameroonian.

    Song not only captains Arta in the tiny Horn of Africa nation, but is also in charge of youth development at the club.

    Here, AFP Sport provides five talking points from the first qualifying matches at the weekend in the African equivalent of the UEFA Europa League.

    Winning return

    Al Mokawloon, who won the now defunct African Cup Winners Cup three times under their former name, are back in a CAF competition for the first time since 2005.

    Winning in Djibouti virtually guarantees the Cairo outfit a much tougher task -- facing Etoile Sahel of Tunisia in a stand-out last-32 tie.

    Etoile are the only club to have won all five current and former CAF competitions -- the Champions League, Confederation Cup, Super Cup, African Cup Winners Cup and CAF Cup.

    Reserves triumph

    Bloemfontein Celtic of South Africa took their reserve team to the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo and upset domestic league leaders Maniema Union 2-0 in Kindu.

    The damage was inflicted in the early minutes with Congo Brazzaville-born Harris Tchilimbou scoring on five minutes and Menzi Ndwandwe doubling the lead just four minutes later.

    With a winners-take-all eight million rand (($525,000/440,000 euros) domestic cup final against Orlando Pirates looming, Celtic opted to deploy the second stringers. 

    Nigerian setbacks

    Both Nigerian contenders suffered away losses with Kano Pillars falling 3-1 to Jaraaf in Senegal and Rivers United going down 2-1 to African newcomers Futuro Kings in Equatorial Guinea.

    Jamil Muhammad gave Kano an early lead before they conceded twice in the first half and Makhtar N'Diaye doubled the home team's lead 14 minutes from time in Thies near Dakar. 

    A brace from Cameroonian  Gregoire Nkama put Kings in control in Mongomo before Godwin Aguda converted a late penalty for Rivers.

    Zambian goal rush

    African debutants NAPSA Stars of Zambia were the most convincing first leg winners as they hammered Ngazi Club 5-1 in the Comoros.

    It could have been an even more embarrassing scoreline for the home team as NAPSA had a goal disallowed in Moroni.

    Danny Silavwe bagged a brace for Stars, who built a four-goal lead before Mananot Raharinjatovo claimed a consolation goal for the islanders.

    Powerful minnows

    Tihad Casablanca of Morocco proved that being a second division club is no disadvantage in Africa as they won 1-0 away to GAMTEL of the Gambia in Bakau near Banjul.

    The only goal came eight minutes from time when Youssef Raiani unleashed an unstoppable shot from outside the box that flew over the Gambian goalkeeper.

    Tihad are the third most popular football side in Casablanca after Raja and Wydad, clubs who have won the CAF Champions League five times between them.
