RS Berkane’s debut CAF Champions League campaign has reached the semifinals, where they face AS FAR in Rabat on Saturday at 9pm CAT.
The Orange Boys, Botola Pro champions for the first time last season, stunned Al Hilal in the quarters thanks to Mounir Chouiar’s late strike.
Head coach Mouin Chaabani, twice a Champions League winner with Esperance, says his experience can guide the newcomers through the pressure.
AS FAR, led by Alexandre Santos, showed their strength by eliminating holders Pyramids. Reda Slim and Mohamed Hrimat starred in that victory, while Berkane will again look to Chouiar’s decisive touch.
The last five meetings between the sides have produced one win each and three draws, setting up a finely balanced semifinal clash.
