RS Berkane Wins Third CAF Confederation Cup with 3-1 Aggregate Over Simba

RS Berkane secured their third CAF Confederation Cup title after a 1-1 draw against Tanzania's Simba SC in the second leg of the final, resulting in a 3-1 aggregate victory following their 2-0 first-leg win. Simba initially took the lead through Joshua Mutale but were reduced to 10 players early in the second half due to a red card for Yusuf Kagoma, which shifted momentum in favor of Berkane. Despite Simba's efforts, including a disallowed goal for offside, Berkane managed to equalize in stoppage time with a goal from substitute Soumaila Sidibe, sealing their championship. This victory cements RS Berkane's status as one of Africa's top clubs, matching the Confederation Cup record held by other elite teams, and also qualifies them for the CAF Super Cup against the winner of the CAF Champions League final. The match featured contentious refereeing decisions that sparked frustration from the Simba side but ultimately did not prevent Berkane from managing the game effectively and clinching the title. RS Berkane's consistent success in recent years highlights their prominence in African club football.
