Moghreb Tetouan 4 Kano Pillars 0: Iajour hat-trick sets Moroccan champions on course

Mouhcine Iajour’s hat-trick helped Moghreb Tetouan to a 4-0 win over Kano Pillars in the first leg of their first-round CAF Champions League tie on Saturday.

The Moroccan champions made the most of home advantage in the opening leg at the Stade Saniat Rmel, as Iajour struck three times in the first half to help his side into a healthy lead in the tie.

Morocco international Iajour needed just 14 minutes to open his account for the competition and doubled his tally before the half-hour mark.

The 29-year-old ensured his hat-trick 10 minutes prior the interval with Zaid Krouch completing the rout with a late strike.

The second leg will be played at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Nigeria on April 4.
