WATCH: Bafana Bafana international Cassius Mailula scores as Thembinkosi Lorch and Rhulani Mokwena's Wydad AC thrash SC Chabab to move into Caf Champions League spot

Wydad Athletic Club maintained their excellent form in the Botola Pro League as they defeated SC Chabab Mohammédia 5-1 at the Stade El Bachir Stadium on Sunday evening.

Bafana Bafana striker Cassius Mailula found the back of the net on the night, ensuring that Rhulani Mokwena's team returned to Casablanca with maximum points.

Wydad's victory propelled them to second place in the Botola Pro League standings which is a Caf Champions League spot and they are 10 points adrift of leaders RS Berkane who have a game in hand.

Another South African player, Thembinkosi Lorch, was brought on in the 77th minute, marking his second appearance for the three-time Caf Champions League winners after his transfer to the club in January.

Furthermore, Mokwena was absent from the dugout during the match as he traveled back to Mzansi to attend his grandmother's funeral who recently passed away.

With just nine matches remaining in the Botola Pro League, Mokwena and his troops will be striving to continue securing positive results to secure a spot in the Caf Champions League by the end of the season.

On the other hand, Mailula and Lorch will be aiming to shine to impress Mokwena further ahead of the 2025 Fifa Club World Cup.
