Chelsea eliminate Raja to progress in CL

Berekum Chelsea are through to the next stage of the African Champions League after eliminating Raja Casablanca over two-legs.

The Ghanaian champions lost 3-0 away at the Mohammed V Stadium on Sunday night but made it through 5-3 on aggregate.

Chelsea, who held the advantage going into Sunday's second round return fixture after winning the first leg 5-0 in Berekum finished the first half 0-0 but conceded two goals under 25 minutes in the second half.

Raja, three-time African champions, scored the third goal in the final minutes of the game but still bowed out of the competition.

Chelsea will now play Cameroon's Coton Sport for a place in the group stages of the African Champions League after progressing from the second round.
