Raja has been presented in this semifinal after beating two rounds . New Zealand First won the Auckland City with a goal in the extension ( 2-1) and then beat the Mexican Monterrey in overtime by the same score .

Picture of Casablanca, without making a great game, has had the wisdom necessary to move forward with both commitments and mostly a hobby that takes you behind on wings in the most difficult moments of the games .

That is perhaps the most dangerous for the Brazilian set of Belo Horizonte, directed by Cuca , more weapons football to reach the final without detracting from the Raja . Cuca is caring for its international figure , Ronaldinho, who arrived in Morocco with muscle fatigue , that is about on Wednesday in a game in which the coach is emphasizing that his men have " patience and working the ball well to find spaces " , said the striker Fernandinho
