At the stroke of the game, Sory Traore scored finishing a well crafted attack to hit the last nail in Vipers coffin.
After six games, Horoya finished third of group C with seven points while Vipers sat bottom with two.
Raja Casablanca and Simba SC finished first and second respectively hence qualifying for the knockout stages.
Vipers still lack venom
The Kitende based side are still winless in 10 games. They have only scored twice and will seek to arrest the poor run.
Since the departure of Roberto Oliviera, Vipers has struggled to find a win and new gaffer Alex Isabirye will have a great assignment to regain the lost form.
Isabirye has been in charge of three games, in those, Vipers has lost once and shared spoils twice.
However the end of the continental campaign will give Vipers a chance to concentrate on local football as they fight to regain a spot at the big stage.
