Benni McCarthy’s AmaZulu FC were handed a dream CAF Champions League group stage draw on Tuesday.
Usuthu entered the draw as one of three unranked sides in Pot 4 – and faced a potentially nightmare scenario in the 16-team group phase.
The footballing Gods smiled on AmaZulu who were drawn in Group B alongside the worst-ranked side in Pot 1 (Morocco’s Raja Casablanca), the second-worst side in Pot 2 (Guine’s Horoya FC) and the worst side in Pot 3 (ES Setif of Algeria).
