AL RAYYAN. — Pitso Mosimane has become the second coach to win three Caf Super Cups following Al Ahly’s triumph over Raja Casablanca on Wednesday evening at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar.
In the process, the South African emulated legendary Portuguese coach Manuel Jose – who achieved the feat during his time with the Egyptian Premier League outfit.
The Red Devils survived a scare from the Moroccans to win the annual competition on penalties after the score stood at 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Caf Confederation Cup defending champions Raja took the lead after 13 minutes after Yasser Ibrahim El Hanafi turned the ball into his own net.
A counter-attack by Raja saw Abdelilah Madkour breakthrough on the right before taking a shot that beat Mohamed Elshenawy in the Ahly goal. El Hanafi’s attempt to cut away the shot only ended in deflecting it into the net.
The reigning Caf Champions League winners woke from their slumber as they attacked in numbers to level matters but their efforts met strong resistance by Marc Wilmots’ side. — Goal.com.
