Karaga ended AS Zam's hopes in the first preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup with a 5:0 victory on Friday. The match took place at the scheduled time of 15:30 on 2026-09-05. Five goals came in a single moment — all at 90+1'. By then the result was already settled in the visitors' favour.
What happened at the final whistle was unusual. Five goals landed at the same minute, 90+1', with no other events recorded before or after. The hosts could not respond. Karaga came from the dead in the closing seconds, though there was little dead to come from.
The statistics tell a quiet story. Both sides recorded zeros across the board — no possession split, no shots, no corners, no fouls. It is rare to see a scoreboard that heavy without the usual match data to back it. The goals simply appeared.
Karaga's recent form offered no warning of such a result. They lost 1:3 to Renaissance Berkane in September 2025, drew 1:1 with the same side, and suffered a 1:2 defeat to Gboloé-Su-de-Lac in June. Only two wins in their last five games — against Entente II and Unisport — suggested anything different.
The visitors now hold a commanding position in the tie. A five-goal margin at this stage of the competition is rarely overturned. The scoreline speaks for itself.
