Following a 2-2 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, Wydad Casablanca secured a spot in the CAF Champions League (LDC) final for the second consecutive year.

An eagerly awaited final between two North African powerhouses will now take place between the Moroccan club and Al Ahly of Egypt.

Up until the second half of the game on Saturday, neither team produced many clear-cut opportunities. Themba Zwane’s goal for Mamelodi Sundowns in the 50th minute gave them the early advantage. However, Wydad didn’t take long to answer; Ayoub El Amloud equalized in just 12 minutes.

In the 79th minute, Mamelodi Sundowns recovered the lead thanks to a goal from Peter Shalulile, giving them new hope of advancing to the championship game. Mothobi Mvala scored once again for Wydad Casablanca in the 83rd minute, proving their tenacity and will.

Wydad Casablanca qualified for the forthcoming 2023 CAF Champions League final thanks to the away goals rule after the game ended in a dramatic 2-2 tie. Joining them will be Al Ahly, who achieved qualification yesterday by beating ES Tunis.
