Samartex secured a spot in the final qualifying round of the CAF Champions League with a 1-0 win against Victoria United in Accra.
The Ghanaian champions clinched a 2-0 aggregate victory by winning this match and the first leg in Cameroon.
Isaac Afful’s powerful left-foot strike in the second leg made him the match’s hero, ensuring the win and preventing Victoria United’s comeback.
Samartex’s crucial result has secured their place in the final qualifying stage, where they will take on Moroccan giant Raja Casablanca.
Raja Casablanca’s impressive performance against ASGNN of Niger solidified their presence in the competition.
