Tunisia's US Monastir recorded a comfortable victory in Sunday's first leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary, thrashing host East End Lions from Sierra Leone 4-0.
The Sierra Leone champions were hosting the first leg in Tunisia at the Stade Olympique Hammadi-Agrebi after missing the Inter-club competition for a few years.
US Monastir took the lead with an own goal from Bari, followed by a stunning free kick that found the net, beating Lins’ keeper Dauda Bangura at his near post.
It felt like a one-sided affair as the Tunisian side continued to showcase their impressive performance, culminating in the 88th minute when Cherif Bodian netted their third goal, followed by Hemidi scoring their fourth of the match to conclude a fantastic first leg for the visitors.
