Zambia Shock: Power Dynamos hand Berkane a 2-0 defeat in Africa's Champions League

Match recap

Power Dynamos stunned Renaissance Berkane 2-0 on their home turf in Zambia during the fifth round of the CAF Champions League group stage.

The goals came from a duo of strikes, with Manianja netting in the 47th minute and Prince Mumba finishing the job in stoppage time at 90+2.

With this result, Power Dynamos climb to 7 points, placing them in third, a position they share with Berkane who remain second on the same tally.

Standings and outlook

Pyramids FC sit top of Group A with 10 points, already through to the knockout stage, while Rivers United linger at the bottom with a single point.

Renaissance Berkane will host Rivers United in the final group game and must win to keep their hopes alive, avoiding a potentially awkward calculation with Power Dynamos.

Berkane’s previous round saw them fall 3-0 to Pyramids, a reminder that the group stage can be a rollercoaster of momentum.

Punchline time: If football scoring were a sniper’s game, tonight’s shots were precise—two, target spotted, mission accomplished. Punchline two: Berkane’s defense tried to play hide-and-seek with the ball; the ball won, the scoreboard proved it, and the net never lied to anyone.
