Renaissance de Berkane faced a disappointing defeat against Zambia's Power Dynamos with a score of 2-0 during the fifth day of matches on February 7. The loss means that the Moroccan team will have to wait for the final matchday to determine if they can continue in the competition. Currently, they sit second in group A but are three points behind the unbeaten leaders, Pyramids. This defeat also allowed the Zambians to level points with Berkane, bringing both teams to 7 points but leaving them with identical goal averages of -1.

The stakes are high for the Moroccan team as they head into the final match against Rivers United, who are at the bottom of the standings and already eliminated. Despite the favorable matchup, Berkane is struggling, having not secured a win for the last three games. Their overall performance, particularly in this crucial stage of the CAF Champions League, raises concerns about their ability to capitalize on their opportunities ahead of this decisive encounter.

Attacker Ronel Manyanga was instrumental for Power Dynamos, scoring the opening goal just after halftime at the 47th minute, followed by a second goal from midfielder Prince Mumba in stoppage time (90+2). This result places additional pressure on Renaissance de Berkane as they attempt to navigate the challenging final outing of the group stage, knowing that their success hinges on overcoming their recent difficulties in form and securing a victory at home.
