Youssef El Fahli scored a late double to send RS Berkane to the final of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup after a 4-1 win over TP Mazembe on the night in Morocco on Sunday.
Berkane, champions of the 2019-20 season, progressed on a 4-2 aggregate score, to set up a date against South Africa’s Orlando Pirates in the final which has been confirmed for Uyo, Nigeria.
Mazembe had to finish the game with 10 men after Tandi Mwape was sent off for a second yellow card in the 65th minute.
The home side made use of the numerical advantage, scoring the second goal in the 79th minute before hitting the winning double in the last five minutes of the game.
Berkane trailed by a solitary goal from the first leg played in Lubumbashi last weekend and needed a massive performance at home to ensure they progressed to their third final.
