CAF CL: FC Samartex edges Victoria United to set up second round clash with Raja Club Athletic

Accra, Aug. 25, GNA – Reigning Ghana Premier League champions FC Samartex 1996 secured a 1-0 win over their Cameroonian counterparts Victoria United in the second leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary encounter at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Isaac Afful’s first half strike was enough to secure a win for FC Samartex 1996, who progressed to the next round 2-0 on aggregate following their 1-0 win in Douala last week.

The Ghanaian ‘Timber Giants’ after progressing to the second round would now face Moroccan giants Raja Club Athletic, who demolished Nigerien side ASGNN 7-1 on aggregate.

FC Samartex 1996 made a good start to the game against Victoria United having dominated the possession and keeping their opponent largely on the back foot.

FC Samartex’s early pressure was rewarded in the eighth minute after Afful powered in a ferocious left drive that flew past Victoria United’s goalkeeper into the net.
