Adjei double seals African Super Cup victory for Mazembe

Midfielder Adjei struck in the 19th minute and doubled the advantage with an acrobatic volley in the 44th minute before Etoile pulled a goal back in first-half stoppage time through Iheb Msakni.

The annual match between the winners of the previous year’s African Champions League and Confederation Cup is hosted by the former and that advantage enabled Mazembe to stifle Etoile’s attempts at a comeback.

Mazembe, playing their first official match under new coach Hubert Velud, also won the Super Cup in 2010 and 2011.
