Liberia’s two representatives in this year’s CAF Confederation Cup and Champions League, Monrovia Club Breweries and Barrack Young Controllers (BYC), during the weekend advanced to the next stage after both teams secured wins in their respective first leg matches. Bushrod Island based MC Breweries on Friday secured a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Algeria’s most successful club, JS Kabylie, at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium. Marvin Blapoh of Club Breweries tried to double the advantage but his strike from outside his opponents 18 yards box passed inches away from the goalpost. JS Kabylie, through their leading goal scorer, Mohamed Boulaouidet, struggled to get a shot on target by heading a cross ball away from goal. JS Kabylie tried to get a consolation goal by mounting pressure on their opponents, but could not due to the defensive posture of Breweries.
