UPSET WIN FOR RAJA

MOROCCAN football club Raja Casablanca took a firm grip on Group 1 of the African Champions League with a shock 1-0 win over Al-Ahly in Egypt this weekend. The top-of-the-table clash between teams who have each won the competition twice was settled with just two minutes left when Mohamed Khoubbache scored for the Green Devils. Raja had been given little chance against the mighty Egyptians following an unimpressive single-goal home victory over 10-man Hearts of Oak from Ghana in the opening round.
