As a result, Raja will meet Pyramids in the final four. The Green Eagles defeated the Egyptian club home and away in the group stages but will be mindful to not underestimate their North African rivals who beat Enyimba 5-2 on aggregate.
Cotonsport and JS Kabylie will meet in the other semifinal.
After being away from the competition since 2014, Cotonsport made it to the semifinals for the third time in their history after beating ASC Jaraaf on the away goals rule.
Sibiri Sanou scored an all-important away goal for the Cameroonian giants in Thies in a 2-1 defeat, following a 1-0 win in Garoua.
