ASEC Mimosas hold narrow advantage ahead of MAS de Fes CAF Champions League decider

ASEC Mimosas take a slender lead into Sunday’s CAF Champions League second preliminary-round second leg against MAS de Fes, with a place in the group stage still at stake.

The match begins at 16:00 GMT at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan. The tie remains finely balanced after the first leg, although the Ivorian club have the advantage of having scored an away goal at the Stade d’Honneur de Meknes.

ASEC Mimosas coach Julien Chevalier has rejected the suggestion that his side are favourites, predicting a closely contested return match.

The game will be refereed by a Gabonese officiating team led by central referee Pierre Ghislain Atcho.
