This result brings the aggregate score to 2-1 in favor of CS Sfaxien. AFAD had secured a 1-1 draw in the first leg played on October 17 at the Félix-Houphouët-Boigny stadium in Abidjan.

The Ivorian team thus exits the competition at the second preliminary round, while CS Sfaxien advances to the group stage of the 2026-2027 edition.

The Tunisian club has already won the Confederation Cup three times. The CAF specifies that it will aim for a fourth title, which would set a record in the competition.
