El-Kanemi Warriors Draw 2-2 with Raja Club Athletic
El-Kanemi Warriors of Nigeria played to a 2-2 draw against Moroccan club Raja Club Athletic in the first leg of their second preliminary-round match in the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday. The match took place at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State.
This result keeps El-Kanemi's hopes of advancing to the group stage alive. The Nigerian side had previously qualified for this round by defeating UDIB of Guinea-Bissau 3-1 on aggregate.
The draw against Raja, a team with significant experience in African football, leaves both teams evenly matched ahead of the return fixture in Casablanca on October 23. Although El-Kanemi was designated as the home team, the match was played at a neutral venue due to the Confederation of African Football's standards not being met at their usual ground in Maiduguri.
The draw means that neither team has a clear advantage, making the return leg crucial for both sides.
