Horoya AC captain Mandela Ocansey scored a crucial goal in the second half, securing a 5-2 aggregate win for the Guinean giants and a spot in the group stage.
Meanwhile, record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia were also eliminated after losing 2-1 to Congolese giants DC Motema Pembe in Kinshasa.
At Kasarani, Bandari FC had several chances to score, but their profligacy in front of goal ultimately cost them dearly.
Coach Bernard Mwalala expressed satisfaction with his team's achievement in the second-tier competition, stating, 'We've exited the tournament, but we can hold our heads high for the far we've reached. We've shown that Bandari is now a force to reckon with in Kenyan football.'
However, he acknowledged that his team's immaturity in front of goal had cost them the match, saying, 'My game plan was to go for early goals, but in football when you waste such chances that we had in the first half, you will definitely be punished.'
Horoya AC's victory marked their qualification to the lucrative group stage, while Bandari FC's elimination brought an end to their CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
