RS Berkane held a valuable advantage in the CAF Confederation Cup final following their 2-0 first leg win over Simba SC of Tanzania at home on Saturday, Afrosport reports.
The Moroccan giants were appearing in their fourth Confederation Cup final since 2020 and wasted no time in making home advantage count with Senegal’s Mamadou Camara putting them in front after eight minutes off an assist from Hamza El and Moussaoui.
Berkane’s lead was doubled six minutes later thanks to Oussama Lamlioui who was assisted by Imad Riahi.
Halfway to the title!
