Samartex have advanced to the final qualifying round of the CAF Champions League after a 1-0 victory over Victoria United on Sunday in Accra.
This win, combined with their 1-0 triumph in the first leg in Cameroon, secured a 2-0 aggregate victory for the Ghanaian champions.
Isaac Afful was the hero in the second leg, with a powerful left-foot strike that sealed the win and prevented Victoria United from mounting any sort of comeback.
With this crucial result, Samartex have earned their spot in the final qualifying stage, where they are set to face Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca.
Raja Casablanca reached this stage with a commanding win over ASGNN of Niger, showcasing their formidable presence in the competition.
As Samartex prepare to face Raja, they aim to make their debut in the group stage of the tournament, a milestone that Raja Casablanca have experienced several times.
The upcoming clash will determine who advances to the group stage, often referred to as the “money zone” due to its prestige and financial rewards.
