The decisive moment came in the 90+3 minute when Soumaila Sidibe scored the equalizer for RS Berkane, effectively sealing the championship. This victory marks RS Berkane's third CAF Confederation Cup title, having previously won in 2020 and 2022, solidifying their position as a dominant force in African club football.
