RS Berkane vs Rivers United/@panafrique

RS Berkane continues its flawless run in the CAF Champions League. The Moroccans notched a second consecutive victory on Friday in Uyo, overcoming Rivers United.

After a comfortable 3-0 win over Zambia's Power Dynamos in their opener, Mouine Chaabani's men had to dig deep to snatch three precious points on the road in Nigeria.

The reigning Confederation Cup champions got off to a rocky start, conceding the opener through an own goal by Mamadou Lamine Camara just before halftime (37').

The Oranges struggled for a long time against the Nigerian defense, but relentless pressure eventually paid off. Youness El Kaabi (90+7') and Mounir Chouiar (90+9') staged a dramatic turnaround in a wild finish.

Thanks to this victory, the Moroccans sit comfortably atop Group A with 6 points, ahead of Pyramids (3 pts, 1 game in hand), Power Dynamos (0 pts, 1 game in hand), and Rivers United (0 pts).
