Mamelodi Sundowns-bound Jayden Adams & Kaizer Chiefs transfer target Fawaaz Basadien shine as Stellenbosch FC ease into Caf Confederation Cup quarter-finals after beating Stade Malien Bamako

Stellenbosch went ahead through a penalty converted by defender Fawaaz Basadien on the half-hour mark in this Group B showdown on Sunday.

Nine minutes later, Basadien turned provider when his corner kick delivery was headed in by Jayden Adams to double the hosts' lead as they were firmly in control of the match.

It ended 2-0 in favour of Stellenbosch who are in in their maiden Caf Confederation Cup campaign.

Impressively, they have reached the quarter-finals with a game to spare in their pool.

Sunday's result was Stellenbosch's third consecutive victory in Group B after starting the campaign with two straight defeats.

In a show of character, they managed to pick themselves up and they have now qualified for the Last-eight with a match to spare.

They now have four points fewer than log leaders RS Berkane who were held 0-0 by Desportivo Lunda-Sul away in Angola.

Ahead of the final day of this group stage, Stellenbosch are now an unassailable five points clear of third-placed Stade Malien.

Steve Barker's men can even afford to lose their last game against RS Berkane.

Stellenbosch will now conclude their Group B campaign with a dead rubber trip to Morocco where they will face RS Berkane who have also already qualified for the quarter-finals.

On the same day, Stade Malien will be at home hosting the basement side and Angolan side Desportivo Lunda-Sul.
