Botola Pro: RS Berkane stretch unbeaten run to 19 games with latest victory

Morocco's participants in the group stages of CAF club competitions continued to catch up on their Botola Pro campaigns Sunday and the Orange Boys of RS Berkane went back to winning ways. The current league leaders have not been defeated since the beginning of October.

One of the favorites to win the CAF Confederation Cup, RSB let their focus slip in a 2-2 draw against Olympique Safi on Thursday but had no problems in Sunday's 3-1 victory at IR Tanger. Oussama Lamlioui and Youssef Mehri (pictured above) continued their excellent form with a goal each and Issoufou Dayo converted yet another penalty kick before IRT's late consolation.

AS FAR appear to be one of the few teams capable of challenging RS Berkane's dominance but it was not easy against Difaâ El Jadidi. A defensive strategy from visitors DHJ kept the AS FAR attack bewildered until the 90th minute when strong pressing and an accurate cross from Anas Bach found substitute forward Joël Beya for a poacher's finish.

Finally, the morale of Raja Casablanca supporters are at an all-time low and a 2-1 defeat to Rabat club Fath Union Sport (FUS) only added to the dismay. El Houssine Rahimi, brother of Soufiane, scored his first ever Botola Pro goal for Raja in the first half.

But hosts FUS had other ideas and leveled close to the hour mark before Ayoub Mouloua won it late for the club from the capital. Their rivals AS FAR receive much of the attention but FUS are a club to watch in 5th place. Raja remain in 8th, 10 points outside of the top three.
