JOHANNESBURG, March 23 (Reuters) - Former winners Enyimba of Nigeria and Egyptian giants Zamalek both scored comfortable wins in their African Champions League second-round, first-leg ties on Sunday.

But three other former champions suffered surprise setbacks and were left with a difficult task in their return legs next month.

Tunisia's Club Africain lost 2-0 in Togo against ASKO Kara while TP Mazembe Engelbert of the Democratic Republic of Congo were held at home to a 1-1 draw by FC105 Libreville.

ASEC Abidjan of the Ivory Coast also drew 1-1 draw at home with Guinea champions AS Kaloum, conceding a late equaliser.

Egypt international Amr Zaki scored the opening goal for five-time winners Zamalek as they overcame Africa Sports of the Ivory Coast 2-0 in Cairo. Mohamed Abouela added the second goal.

Stephen Worgu netted a hat trick as Enyimba eased past Simba SC of Tanzania 4-0 in Aba, adding to four goals he scored in the first round. Kalu Uche added a late penalty.

There was also a hat trick for Fankele Traore as Cameroon's Coton Sport went one better with a 5-0 win over Gombe United of Nigeria in Garoua.
