Kwara United will take a 3-1 advantage to Morocco next week after they beat CAF Confederation Cup holders RS Berkane in a first round first leg clash today in Lagos.
Cheick Ouattara gave the visiting Moroccans an eighth minute lead.
However, a big credit has to go to Kwara United as they turned the game completely around after the break.
First, the lively Taofeek Ahmed drew them level in the 72nd minute, before Wasiu Jimoh put them in front for the first time seven minutes later.
Barnabas Daniel’s header three minutes from full time was the cushion the Nigerian club badly needed ahead of the return leg in Morocco next week.
