RABAT, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- RS Berkane claimed their first ever Morocco Football Cup after defeating Wydad Fez on penalties on Sunday.

At Rabat's Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, the game ended with a 2-2 draw after 120 minutes, and Berkane won the shoot-out 3-2.

Berkane took the lead in the 56th minute thanks to Mohammed Ferhane, before Senegalese player Mamadou Diouf equalized for Wydad Fez three minutes later.
