Following their 1-0 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns this weekend, the Raja Athletic Club interim coach says his side put in one of their best performances of the season so far.
Raja claimed an important win over the South African outfit to keep their hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League alive.

The result saw them move to four points in as many games, and they now sit just one point behind Sundowns, who are second in the group.
Raja are still without a permanent manager, as their interim coach, Hafid Abdessadek, was the one who oversaw the big win for the Moroccan side.
Reflecting on his team, Abdessadek told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed: "The Green Team played one of its best matches this season, as the players proved their ability to rise again in order to defend their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the African Champions League, awaiting a decisive match against the Royal Army next Saturday at the Honor Stadium in Meknes."
Speaking on the possibility of taking charge of the team on a permanent basis, Sadek added: "I came to Raja Club Athletic to work there with dedication, because I am a son of this great club, and what matters to me is to give everything I have in order to return it to the winning track.
"Accordingly, I have no objection if the management contracts a qualified foreign coach to serve Raja, and of course I will be satisfied with the role of assistant coach.
"However, if I am kept as head coach, I will do my duty in the best way, but on condition that all conditions are prepared to work in appropriate circumstances."
Raja's next Champions League match will be against fellow Moroccan side FAR Rabat on 11 January before ending their group phase with a game against Congolese club Maniema Union.
