Raja Casablanca inch closer to CAF CC trophy after thrashing AS Vita

Raja Casablanca moved closer to emerging champions of the CAF Confederation Cup with a 3-0 victory over AS Vita.

A brace from striker Soufiane Rahimi ensured the Moroccan side took control of the two-legged final.

The first leg game was played at the Stade Mohammed V on Sunday.

After a goalless first half, Rahimi took his tally in the competition to four with a brace.

Top scorer Mahmoud Benhalib then converted a penalty kick after 66 minutes to record his 12th goal of the campaign.

AS Vita were reduced to 10 men when defender Yannick Bangala received a second yellow card.

Raja comfortably saw out the rest of the game. They are seeking to win a first continental title since they lifted the defunct CAF Cup in 2003.

The second leg fixture will take place in Kinshasa on Sunday.
