Ghana Premier League champions FC Samartex have advanced to the second round of the CAF Champions League playoffs, where they will face Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca.
This comes after Samartex secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Victoria United in the second leg of their first-round tie, held at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Isaac Afful's early strike in the 8th minute was enough to seal the win for the Timber Giants, who held on to their lead despite several scoring opportunities from both teams.
The victory gave FC Samartex a 2-0 aggregate win, propelling them to the next stage of the competition.
The upcoming clash with Raja Casablanca, scheduled for September, will be a critical test for FC Samartex as they aim to secure a spot in the group stages of Africa's elite club tournament.
