GONE! Stellenbosch FC crash out of CAF Confederation Cup under ex-Kaizer Chiefs coach after heavy defeat at AS Otoho d'Oyo

Stellenbosch FC's hopes of reaching the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals came to an end after they were beaten 3-0 by AS Otoho d'Oyo at Stade Alphonse Massemba-Debat on Sunday. 

The home side went ahead through Pomi Nzaou in the 38th minute before Klegnime Kone extended their lead two minutes before halftime.

Kone then completed his brace on 79 minutes to make it difficult for Stellenbosch to come back. 

Sunday's result saw the Cape Winelands side anchoring Group C with just a match to go at this stage of the competition. 

In the five group games they have played so far, Stellenbosch have managed just one win, a draw and suffered three defeats.

That leaves them on four points with five fewer than Otoho, who are in second position. 

Failing to reach the knockouts with one group game to go does not read well for experienced coach Gavin Hunt. 

The former Kaizer Chiefs coach has lost all the Confederation Cup matches he has been in charge of Stellenbosch.

After back-to-back defeats by CR Belouizdad on 2-0 and 3-0 scorelines, the Maroons suffered another heavy defeat.

That means Hunt has presided over a run which has seen Stellenbosch concede eight goals without scoring in three games. 

The defeat by Otoho came just four days after Stellenbosch eliminated Kaizer Chiefs from the Nedbank Cup. 

They fell to a heavy loss and their last group game at home against Singida Black Stars will be a dead rubber. 

However, Hunt and his men could comfort themselves in that they are still within a chance to claim a major trophy in the Nedbank Cup as they now fully focus on domestic assignments.
