RS Berkane to Face AS FAR in Crucial CAF Champions League Semifinal Clash

RS Berkane will host AS FAR tonight at 9 p.m. at the Municipal Stadium in the second leg of the CAF Champions League semifinal.

The Moroccan side, reigning CAF Confederation Cup champions, are aiming for a historic place in the final of the CAF Champions League but face a difficult task after losing 2-0 in the first leg.

AS FAR took a strong advantage in the first meeting, with goals from Ahmed Hammoudan in the 58th minute and Khalid Ait Ouarkhan in the 80th minute, giving them a comfortable lead heading into the return leg.

RS Berkane now need a strong comeback performance at home. The team will rely on early pressure and attacking intensity to try to reduce the deficit, while also maintaining defensive balance to avoid conceding an away goal that could complicate their task further.

On the other hand, AS FAR enter the match with a clear advantage but remain cautious. They are expected to adopt a disciplined tactical approach, focusing on organization and counterattacks, aiming to protect their lead and secure qualification to the final.

The winner on aggregate will face the victor of the other semifinal between Mamelodi Sundowns and Espérance de Tunis in the final of the 2025–2026 CAF Champions League.
