The Royal Army lost its match against Tanzanian host Young Africans by a goal to nil, in the match held today, Saturday, at the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar, as part of the opening of the group stage of the African Champions League.
The only goal of the match was scored by striker Prince Dube in the 58th minute. Young Africans dominated the proceedings of the match and created many dangerous opportunities, while Royal Army goalkeeper Ahmed Reda Tahraoui excelled in saving more than one confirmed attempt. The soldiers tried to adjust the result in some periods of the match, but the absence of the final touch and the cancellation of a goal on the pretext of offside sparked protests from the team. With this defeat, the Royal Army opens its journey in the group stage with an away loss, while Young Africans achieves its first three points this season, and the Moroccan team prepares to face Al-Ahly of Egypt in the second round.
