FAR Rabat
FAR Rabat delivered a composed away performance to secure a crucial 2-1 victory over Pyramids FC in this CAF Champions League encounter. The Moroccan side took control early through Reda Slim's 9th-minute opener and extended their advantage via Mohamed Rabie Hrimat just after the hour mark. Despite Fiston Mayele's immediate response to halve the deficit and spark a tense final half-hour, Rabat's defensive discipline held firm under pressure. The match was marred by frequent confrontations, with nine yellow cards distributed as tensions boiled over, particularly after Mayele's goal when players from both sides clashed. This result gives FAR Rabat valuable momentum in the continental competition while leaving Pyramids with work to do to salvage their campaign.
