Joseph Bakasu from the Democratic Republic of Congo was the first leg match-winner on 47 minutes as Moroccan outfit Wydad won 1-0 away to Ghanaian opponents Asante Kotoko in Accra.
Kotoko were reduced to 10 men just three minutes after falling behind when Guinea-born goalkeeper Mohamed Camara was sent off.
Wydad have won five CAF titles, including the Champions League three times. Kotoko reached the final of the same competition seven times, winning twice.
Tanzanian teams have been constantly improving in continental competitions and Singida Black Stars are favoured to reach the group stage after drawing 1-1 with Burundians Flambeau Centre in Bujumbura.
Zambian Clatous Chama put Singida ahead on 60 minutes and Edison Munaba equalised just two minutes later. The return match is on Saturday.
