WAC scuttles, Al Ahly rushes to the final

What a disappointment for Wydad Casablanca… This Saturday, the Moroccans fell at home against Al Ahly (0-2) in the semi-final first leg of the African Champions League.

Barely 4 minutes of play and the defender Jabrane was completely hole-in losing a ball near the surface to let Magdy go alone to goal and open the scoring (0-1, 4e). Miguel Angel Gamondi’s men were gradually recovering from this catastrophic start and began to push and Gbagbo Magbi obtained a penalty against El-Shennawi before half-time. But, while he had the equalizer ball at the end of his foot, Aouk failed with a too central shot repelled in two stages by the Egyptian goalkeeper.

Nothing was definitely going for the locals who lost Yahya Attiat-Allah to injury after returning from the locker room. Worse, Najmeddine was guilty of a hand in the area, causing a penalty converted by the Tunisian Ali Maaloul (0-2, 62e). It’s hard to imagine the WAC turning the tide in a week in Cairo during the return leg. Until then, the other semi-final first leg will pit Raja Casablanca against Zamalek on Sunday.
