Three matches and three victories for the RS Berkane in the group stage of the CAF Cup. The Oriental club made it three on Sunday, thanks to its success at home against Malian stadium. However, the meeting was not a walk in the park for the men of Mount Chaâbani. Despite 79% ball possession and several big scoring chances, the Orientals lacked realism against an opaque Malian defense. To remedy the lack of solutions at the offensive level and try to break the defensive barrier of Malian stadiumthe Orange coach made four changes during the second half. A coaching that ended up paying off, with a penalty obtained before the end of the game and transformed by the team’s essential Burkinabé defender, Issoufou Dayo. With this victory, the Oriental club now has 9 points to its credit, far ahead of Stade Malien (4 points).
