The Renaissance of Berkane (RSB) won its second African Football Confederation Cup (CAF), by beating the South African team of Orlando Pirates by five penalties to four (regulation time: 0-0, extra time: 1-1), in the final played this Friday in Uyo, Nigeria.
RSB opened the score thanks to Youssef El Fahli on penalty kick in the 97th minute, while Thembinkosi Lorch (117th) equalized for the South Africans.
The Berkani club was playing the third final in its history of the CAF Cup, after a final lost in 2019 against Zamalek and another won in 2020 at the expense of another Egyptian team, Pyramids FC.
On the occasion of its new consecration in the CAF Cup, King Mohammed VI sent a message of congratulations to the members of the club of the Renaissance Sportive de Berkane.
In this message, the sovereign expresses his congratulations to all components of the club and who have thus enabled Morocco to retain the title for the third consecutive time.
“We cannot fail to express our pride in this continental title that honors the club Renaissance Sportive de Berkane and Moroccan soccer, and that you have won, with brilliance and distinction, for the second time, thanks to your serious efforts and the ambition that animates you to represent Morocco in the best way in various international competitions, and to raise high the national colors,” said the king.
