10-man Raja Casablanca beat JS Kabylie to win Caf Confederation Cup
Despite playing with a man less, the Green Eagles saw off the challenge of Lions of Djurdjura to pick up the African title
Raja Casablanca won the Caf Confederation Cup with a 2-1 victory of JS Kabylie on Saturday evening.
First-half goals from Soufiane Rahimi and Ben Malango Ngita were all the Green Eagles needed to emerge as winners inside Cotonou’s Stade de l'Amitie.
Although they played the last 27 minutes with ten men following the dismissal of Omar Arjoune for a dangerous play, Lassaad Chabbi’s men held their nerves to win the competition for the second time in their history.
The Moroccans came into the game with low morale – having failed to win any of their last three games in all competitions. However, they reigned supreme thanks to an impressive showing in the first 45 minutes.
