Agg: 3-3 JS Kabylie win on away goals.

Africa Sports of Ivory Coast blew away a two-goal cushion on Friday and saw Algeria's JS Kabylie move into this year's Caf Cup final.

The Ivorians were 3-1 winners in the first leg in Abidjan a fortnight ago, courtesy of some schoolboy defensive errors by the North African side.

But JS Kabylie staged a quite remarkable second leg comeback after being given little or no hope by many pundits.

The holders sealed the tie in front of 40 000 delirious fans at the July 5 Stadium in Algiers with two second half goals.

Hamid Bergugua opened the scoring in the 60th minute and Mounir Dob added the second with just a minute remaining on the referee's watch.

JS Kabylie will now face the winners of the other semi-final between Cotonsport of Cameroon and Tunisia's Etoile Sahel in next month's decider.

That semi-final takes place in Yaounde on Sunday with the Tunisians hoping to preserve their 3-1 first leg advantage.

Etoile Sahel are also seeking to become the first club to win the CAF Cup three times.
