RS Berkane do the bare minimum
RS Berkane had been warned. They came back late to draw 2-2 after trailing 2-0 in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup second round, so the Moroccans had to be careful on Friday 29 September for the return match against Bendel Insurance Football Club. Berkane sealed qualification with a 1-0 win. The path through began to open up late in the first half. Oussama Lamlioui broke the deadlock in the 44th minute. One goal was enough to get them through.
