  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Wydad Athletic Club came from a goal down to beat Union Touarga 2-1 in Sunday's Botola Pro League game at Larbi Zaouli Stadium.

    The visitors scored within the first 17 minutes through Youssef Kajai to silence the home fans.

    However, Rhulani Mokwena's outfit equalised from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute courtesy of Mohamed Rayhi.

    The winning goal came with three minutes to go thanks to El-Mehid Moubarik.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Sunday's victory was the second consecutive win for Mokwena after failing to win in his previous three.

    The three points put his team fifth on the table, just four off the second position.

    Challenging for the Botola Pro League crown might be too much for the team, but surely, a place within the top four is achievable.

    WHAT NEXT?

    To achieve that, Wydad AC have to work on their consistency which has been lacking.

    With the transfer window ongoing, Mokwena is hoping to get one or two quality players to help him.

    The main aim is to have a stronger team to do well in the 2025 Fifa Club World Cup in the United States.
