Morocco’s Wydad Casablanca claimed on Saturday the African Champions League title after beating Al Ahly of Egypt 1-0 in the Moroccan city of Casablanca.
At Mohamed V Stadium, Walid Kourti secured the second title of the Moroccan team with a header in the 69th minute after an assist from Wydad’s top scorer Achraf Bencharki.
The Moroccan side won the Champions League title – their first crown – in 1992.
In a tense first leg in Egypt, Momen Zakaria opened the scoring for the Egyptian club before Bencharki equalized for Wydad to leave the final perfectly poised.
After claiming the trophy, Wydad will be representing Africa at the FIFA Club World Cup in the UAE in December.
