Morocco’s RS Berkane left CS Constantine in tatters on tonight, cruising to a brutal 4-0 win in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup semi-final.
The Algerians were stunned before they’d even broken a sweat – Youssef Mehri smashed in the opener just 14 seconds after kick-off. Blink and you’d have missed it. The goal stands as the fastest in the competition’s history.

Paul Valère Bassene made it two on 21 minutes, turning the screw as the home side ran riot at the Municipal Stadium in Berkane.
It got worse after the break. Osama Lamlioui, in the form of his life, slotted home twice – on 54 minutes and again in injury time – taking his personal tally to five in the tournament.
The second leg’s set for April 27 in Algeria, but let’s be honest – Constantine need a miracle.
