Al Hilal Omdurman Eliminated from CAF Champions League After Quarterfinal Exit

Al Hilal’s journey in the CAF Champions League has come to an end after they were knocked out in the quarterfinal stage following defeat to RS Berkane.

The Sudanese giants came into the tie with high hopes of progressing, but they were unable to overcome a well-organized and disciplined RS Berkane side over the two legs. Despite showing moments of resilience, Al Hilal struggled to convert their chances, which ultimately cost them a place in the semifinals.

In the decisive return leg, played at Amahoro Stadium, Al Hilal needed a strong performance in front of their supporters. However, RS Berkane maintained control of the game, managing the tempo and defending solidly to protect their advantage.

Al Hilal pushed forward in search of goals but lacked the cutting edge in the final third. On the other hand, RS Berkane capitalized on key opportunities, either scoring or holding firm defensively to secure qualification.

This elimination marks a disappointing end to Al Hilal’s continental campaign, especially after the club had shown promise in earlier rounds. Their exit means they now shift focus back to domestic competitions and rebuilding for future continental challenges.

Meanwhile, RS Berkane advance to the semifinals, keeping their hopes alive of lifting one of Africa’s most prestigious club trophies.
