Monrovia -FC Fassell have extended their heartfelt congratulations to Paynesville Football Club (PFC) for successfully qualifying for the second round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
PFC achieved the milestone with a 1-0 victory over Cameroon’s Fovu Club at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaoundé on August 25, 2024.
Sunday’s win for the Liberian club followed their impressive 4-0 win in the first leg held at the Samuel Kanyon Doe (SKD) Sports Complex in Paynesville on August 18, 2024.
According to a release from Fassell FC, the accomplishment marks a significant moment for a Liberian club within the CAF club competitions.
“We are currently reviewing the record books to determine the last time a Liberian team secured an away victory in CAF club competitions.
“This is no small feat, and FC Fassell takes great pride in your historic achievement.
“On behalf of FC Fassell, I urge all stakeholders to join me in celebrating this remarkable double victory as we look ahead to the next round,” stated President Cassell Anthony Kuoh.
Meanwhile Paynesville FC is set to face Mali’s Stade Malien in the first leg at the SKD on September 15, 2024.
The last time Stade de Malien played against a Liberia club was against Watanga FC.
Stade de Malien defeated Watanga 7-2 on aggregate.
Also, in 2017, BYC eliminated the Stade Malien away from home after the first leg ended 1-0 in Monrovia and the Liberian champions lost away with the similar score line but won from the penalty spot to progress to the next round of the CAF champions league.
