Vipers faced a tough challenge posed by sharpshooter Thabang Vincent Sesinyi, who secured a brace for Jwaneng Galaxy.
As the hosts prepare for the Kitende rematch, they’ll be closely monitoring Sesinyi's movements.
To progress to the next stage just before the group phases, Vipers need a victory by a margin of three goals or more on their home ground.
The victor between South Africa's Orlando Pirates and Comoros' Djabal FC will await the triumphant side from the Vipers vs Jwaneng Galaxy clash, offering a glimpse of the promising journey ahead.
