Gambian champions Gamtel surrendered its lead to go down 2-1 away to Moroccan champions Olympique Club de Khouribga in the first leg of the African Champions League preliminary rounds on Friday.

Khouribga, making their second appearance in the premier continental club championship after their maiden and only outing in 2009, recovered from a missed penalty to come from 1-0 and beat Gamtel in Marrakech.

Modou Sarr shot the visitors into the lead after 24 minutes before a spirited second half performance saw the host level a minute after the break through Ibrahim Bezghoudi. The home side missed a penalty on 64 minutes by Otmane El Assas before Rachid Tiberkanine scored the winner ten minutes later.

Khouribga won the penalty which replays showed goalkeeper Baka Ceesay clearly making contact with the ball before the player stumbled to grown. Ceesay composed himself despite the setback and saved the kick with his legs.

The return leg is in Banjul two weeks later and the Gambian side will qualify to the next stage of the competition with a 1-0 win or any win more than one goal.
