The win keeps Bo Rangers top of Group A with six points from two matches, two points ahead of second-placed Horoya AC of Guinea.
Bo Rangers were the better team throughout the match and created a number of chances.
ASMS had a few opportunities to score, but they were denied by some good saves from Bo Rangers goalkeeper, Abdul Bundu.
Earlier in the week, Bo Rangers knocked out Guinean heavyweights, AC Horoya on penalties after playing to a 1-1 draw. Horoya opened up the scoring with a goal from Sory Camara in the 29th minute.
Bo Rangers’ Suffian Kalokoh equalized in the 88th minute which left the host team in disappointment. The match ended in a penalty shootout which Rangers won by 4 goals to 3.
The competition attracted one club each from Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Senegal and Mali whilst host country Guinea fielded four clubs.
The four Guinean teams in the tournament are Horoya AC, Hafia FC, Milo FC and Soar AC.
