The Khartoum giants were helped by their stumbling of their Group A rivals Cotonsport, who lost 2-0 to the leaders Enyimba in Nigeria.

Hilal will now face Tunisian champions Esperance, while Enyimba clash with Wydad Casablanca in the other semi-final tie.

Esperance and Wydad qualified from Group B, which saw six-time champions Ahli eliminated from the group stages for the first time in nine years.
