It was Baleke’s fourth goal of the unfolding champions league campaign whose scoring instincts continue to brand his name in the game of football.

However, the duo meet again in the reverse leg clash to be staged in Morocco next week.

Any positive results for the Reds in Morocco will guarantee them a space in the last four where they aim to reach.

The Msimbazi based giants have already indicated that they want to record history of becoming the first side to cruise to the semis.
