CAF has picked three scorers Harkass, Bouzok and Khabba among the best 11 of the matchday one.

Three players from the Raja Casablanca team that thrashed Vipers 5-0 have been named in the CAF Champions League team of the first week.

Vipers keeper Alfred Mudekereza fumbled with Hamza Khabba’s brushed header to divert the ball into his own net after only five minutes of play. 

He spilled another one on centre-back Jamal Harkass’ path for the second six minutes later before Yousri Bouzok set up Mohammed Zrida for the third in the 39th minute.

Bouzok grabbed his own at the hour interval before Roger Aholou slotted in the 71st minute to seal the result.
