CR Belouizdad continued from where they left-off in Algiers twelve days ago to beat Gor Mahia 2-1 in the return leg of the CAF Champions League at Nyayo National Stadium and consequently relegate K'Ogalo to the Confederations Cup play-offs on an 8-1 aggregate.

The record Kenyan champions were facing an uphill task and needed to score more than seven unanswered goals to progress to the group stages of the prestigious continental showpiece after suffering a humiliating 6-0 defeat to the seven-time Algerian champions on December 26.
