The other four pots will contain three balls with the names of the group winners Al Ahly, TP Mazembe, Wydad Casablanca and Etoil Du Sahel. Each pot will have three balls all with the same team.

For every round –there will be four rounds for the four fixtures-, one ball from pot 1 will be picked. To find the opponent, a ball from each other pot (pots 2, 3, 4 &5) except the pot that has the team that played in the same group of the runner-up will be drawn and placed in the empty pot (6).
The three balls in Pot 6 will be mixed and one team picked. The team that has been picked will complete the fixture. According to the rules, the group winners will play the first leg away and host the return.
The same procedure will be repeated for the other three fixtures in both competitions.
