At half-time in the second leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup, Raja Casablanca and El-Kanemi Warriors are 0-0. The result would provisionally qualify the Moroccan club for the group stage, after a 2-2 draw in the first leg in Nigeria, according to Africatopsports.

At half-time, Raja Casablanca and El-Kanemi Warriors are level at 0-0 at the Mohammed V Sports Complex in the second leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup, Africatopsports reports. The Moroccan club remains provisionally qualified thanks to the two away goals it scored in the first leg, which ended 2-2 in Nigeria.

Raja Casablanca have had more of the ball but have come up against El-Kanemi Warriors’ compact defensive block and lacked precision in front of goal, according to Africatopsports. The Moroccan side must now be more incisive in the second half to avoid a tense finish.
