Raja Casablanca players celebrate their advance<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Raja Casablanca of Morocco reached the group stage of the Champions League after beating Ivorian side Asec 5-4 on penalties on Saturday to advance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the tie finishing 1-1 after regulation time, the three-time winners edged through on spot-kicks.<\/p>\n

Mohsine Moutouali converted a 90th minute penalty for the Moroccans to cancel out the visitors’ lead.<\/p>\n

Adama Bakayoko gave the visitors the lead on 57 minutes before Raja rallied to take the game into a shoot-out.<\/p>\n

Raja held a distinct advantage going into the third round game after the tie was reduced to one leg due to civil unrest in Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

But the visitors came out fighting in the game in Casablanca and deservedly took the lead when Bakayoko struck from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n

They clung to the lead until the final minute when Moutouali converted a penalty and forced the game into penalties.<\/p>\n

Another former champions Mouloudia Alger<\/strong> of Algeria also qualified for the lucrative mini-league stage of the top-flight continental club competition.<\/p>\n

Brahim Bedbouda converted an 88th-minute penalty to give 1976 title holders Mouloudia a 3-2 victory over Angolan police team InterClube<\/strong> in Algiers after a drawn first encounter.<\/p>\n

A seesaw struggle saw Youssef Sofiane and Abdelmalek Mokdad give the local team the lead twice and captain Pedro Henriques and ‘Antonio’ equalise for the gallant visitors who trailed 2-1 at half-time.<\/p>\n

Entente Setif<\/strong> of Algeria, another former title holder in the field, suffered a surprisingly heavy 4-1 defeat at Cotonsport Garoua<\/strong> of Cameroon in a first leg delayed by African youth championship call-ups.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, crowd trouble marred the Champions League for the second time is as many months when the match between Club Africain<\/strong> of Tunisia and Al-Hilal<\/strong> of Sudan in Rades on Saturday was abandoned.<\/p>\n

Spectators invaded the national stadium pitch on the outskirts of capital Tunis with a few minutes left of the third round game and Club needing two goals to avoid elimination.<\/p>\n

Hilal won the first leg 1-0 in Omdurman two weeks ago and doubled their aggregate advantage 18 minutes into the first half through Zimbabwe-born striker Edward Sadomba.<\/p>\n

Khaled Melliti levelled midway through the second half, but the home side needed to net twice more under the away-goal rule to survive when play was halted.<\/p>\n

The winners of these ties qualify for the group stage of the Champions League, while the losers drop into the Confederation Cup competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
