The match took place at the Azam Complex in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, due to current logistical constraints in Madagascar. The Malagasy players failed to contain the opposing attacks.

Young Africans quickly took the lead with two goals in the first half. In the second half, the Tanzanians added two more goals, sealing a clear victory.

For the return leg, CFFA will need to score at least four goals to hope for qualification. A near-impossible mission given the performance displayed. Malagasy fans are keeping their fingers crossed.
