CAF Confederation Cup.. Renaissance Berkane secures ticket to the semi-finals by defeating ASEC Mimosas (1-0)

CAF Confederation Cup.. Renaissance Berkane secures ticket to the semi-finals by defeating ASEC Mimosas (1-0)

The Berkane team players relatively controlled the ball and varied their attacks in an attempt to reach the net of the visiting team, which almost reached the Renaissance Berkane goal through a counter-attack in the 37th minute, but the good positioning of goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi prevented this.

The attempts of both teams continued without posing a real threat to the goalkeepers, but the pressure exerted by the Berkane players, in addition to the advantage of the goal scored in the opponent's net in the first leg, made the Mimosas players resort to violent interventions, which prompted the match referee to show the yellow card on three occasions.

The Renaissance Berkane team showed harmony between its various lines during the first half, but did not succeed in translating the available opportunities into goals.

In the second half, both teams maintained the same rhythm of play adopted in the first half, which led the coach of Renaissance Berkane, Mouine Chaabani, to make changes to inject new blood by involving Imad Riahi, Paul Bassene, Matheus Santos, and Reda Hajji.

These changes created some pressure on the ASEC Mimosas ranks, as Oussama Lamlioui almost scored the first goal thanks to a right-footed shot from the penalty area after receiving a pass from substitute Valere Bassene.

As the end of the match approached, the Ivorian team intensified its offensive pressure and became closer to the penalty area of Munir Mohamedi, who showed his teeth and defended his net with all his might.

Around the seventy-sixth minute of the match, Oussama Lamlioui was able to score the first goal after receiving a heel pass from substitute Paul Bassene.

The national football representative in the CAF Confederation Cup had achieved a victory (1-0) in the first leg match hosted last Wednesday at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan.

Renaissance Berkane will face the Algerian club CS Constantine, which qualified at the expense of USM Alger on penalties (5-4), while the Tanzanian Simba, which won against the Egyptian club on penalties (4-1), will host the South African team Stellenbosch, which created a surprise by eliminating the title holder, the Egyptian Zamalek (1-0), in the second semi-final.

The Renaissance Berkane team secured their ticket to the semi-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup after defeating their guests, ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast, with a score of one goal to nil, in the match that brought them together this Wednesday at the Municipal Stadium in Berkane, for the second leg of the quarter-finals.
