Holders Berkane shock CAF Cup casualties after loss in Zambia
Johannesburg (AFP) – The number of qualifiers for the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals rose to six Wednesday after the shock matchday 5 elimination of title-holders Renaissance Berkane from Morocco.
Raja Casablanca of Morocco had already qualified and were joined by JS Kabylie of Algeria, Coton Sport of Cameroon, Jaraaf of Senegal, CS Sfaxien of Tunisia and Pyramids of Egypt.
Berkane fell 1-0 away to previously winless NAPSA Stars of Zambia in Lusaka, where Doisy Soko scored the 53rd-minute winner in Group B.
Coton Sport surprisingly lost 2-1 at home to JS Kabylie in the same section, conceding two goals in five minutes after being reduced to 10 men when Sibiri Sanou was red-carded.
