Wydad Edges Out Moghreb Tétouan in Tight Victory
Casablanca, Morocco – Wydad Athletic Club secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Moghreb Tétouan at Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca on Saturday evening. The match, characterized by a tense and tactical battle, saw Wydad’s dominance finally rewarded with a late penalty.
The first half ended goalless, with Wydad controlling possession and dictating the tempo. Moghreb Tétouan, however, remained resolute in defense, frustrating the home side’s attempts to break the deadlock.
As the clock ticked down and a draw seemed inevitable, Wydad earned a penalty in the dying moments of the match. Nassim Chadli stepped up to take the crucial spot-kick, calmly slotting the ball home to secure all three points for his team.
This victory marks the first win for Wydad’s new coach, Roulâni Mokouena, in the Botola Pro, Morocco’s top professional football league. It comes as a welcome relief after a disappointing opening day defeat to MAS Fes.
This win will undoubtedly boost Wydad’s confidence as they look to challenge for the Botola Pro title this season. The club, one of the most successful in Moroccan football history with 22 league titles, will be hoping to build on this performance in the coming weeks.
