Its win or burst for Samartex, Nsoatreman in Africa …as they face Raja, Constantine in 2nd leg ties

Ghana’s representatives in Africa club competitions will return to action this weekend with tricky second leg ties to define their fate in the championships.
Starting today, League champions, FC Samartex, will hope to get the nod to the league stage of the CAF Champions League when they engage Raja Casablanca in a second leg tie in Morocco.
Nsoatreman will also attempt a major upset against CS Constantine who they lost 2-0 to in the first leg in Accra.
The tricky first leg outcomes obviously put them in danger of exiting the competition, considering the strength of North African teams at homes.
Both sides gave a good account of themselves in Accra last week, leaving the fans wondering what the outcome would be when they play in front of their supporters.
Among the two representatives, Samartex proved a more superior contender. They were, however, let down by poor defending that forced them to start on the back foot.
Despite the promise showed by Raja, luck smiled on them as the Ghanaians missed a series of goal scoring opportunities.
The narrative would have changed if those chances had been converted. With a modified approach, they can hold Raja in their back yard although it is clear that Raja could mount a totally different challenge.
Nsoatreman on the other side will face an uphill task in trying to overturn the 2-0 deficit suffered at home.
That seem an impossible task but Coach Yaw Preko is urging fans not to give up because they have plans to shock Constantine.

Rooted in gratitude, surrender, and heartfelt adoration, ‘Hallelujah’ is more than a song; it is a declaration of God’s greatness and a reminder that He deserves the highest praise not only because of His mighty works, but simply because of who He is.
The upbeat tempo contemporary church praise jam blends energetic rhythms with a worshipful message, making it a perfect sound for Sunday services, personal devotion, and moments of collective celebration in the presence of God.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Jesse Delali describes ‘Hallelujah’ as a call for every believer to exalt God regardless of circumstances.
“God deserves our praise at all times. ‘Hallelujah’ is a declaration of gratitude and surrender-a reminder that our worship is not only tied to what God does for us, but who He is,” he explains.
The production of ‘Hallelujah’ was handled by renowned music producer Junior Boateng of Newgenn Studios, who crafted a rich and energetic soundscape that complements the song’s celebratory message.
The official music video, shot and edited by Kwame Aboagye of Envision Media, brings the song’s message to life through captivating visuals recorded live in Ottawa, Canada that reflect the joy, passion, and spiritual atmosphere behind the praise anthem.
With ‘Hallelujah’, the drummer turned singer continues his mission of creating music that inspires faith, encourages worship, and draws hearts closer to God, following his recent release of ‘For All You’ve Done’
