Moroccan side RS Berkane are champions of the 2025 CAF Confederation Cup after overcoming Simba SC in the final.
The winners won the trophy on Sunday, May 25, after surviving an early scare from the hosts.
RS Berkane went into the second leg of the final today leading 2-0 on aggregate thanks to a hard-fought win in the first leg.
In the reverse fixture played at Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar, Simba SC had a strong start to the game, determined to overturn the first leg defeat.
The efforts of the hosts paid off after just 17 minutes, thanks to a strike from Joshua Mutale after he was assisted by Elie Mpanzu.
Now just a goal away from restoring parity to the tie, Simba SC put RS Berkane under pressure in the quest for that second goal.
The team maintained the lead at halftime but suffered a setback just five minutes into the second half when midfielder Yusuph Kagoma was shown a second yellow card and sent off.
Even with 10 men, Simba SC managed to score a second goal through Stephen Mukwala. Unfortunately, the goal was disallowed for offside.
Late in the game, Soumaila Sidibe scored for RS Berkane to force the game to end 1-1.
The result means RS Berkane are Champions of this season’s CAF Confederation Cup with a 3-1 aggregate win over Simba SC in the final.
