Wydad AC finally broke their silence in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League Group stage campaign, clinching a thrilling victory over Simba AC on Saturday evening.

After facing defeats in their initial matches against Jwaneng Galaxy and Asec Mimosas, the Moroccan giants were eager for a positive outcome against the East Africans, who had yet to secure a win in Group B.

As the match appeared headed for a goalless draw, Zakaria Draoui ignited the home crowd's excitement with a late goal, securing a confidence-boosting win for the former champions, keeping them in contention after this crucial victory.

Interestingly, these two teams will face off again on Tuesday, with Simba hosting the Moroccans in what promises to be another action-packed encounter. Both teams are eager to close the gap with their group leaders.

The outcome results in a switch of positions, with Simba now at the bottom of Group B, while Wydad moves to third place behind Jwaneng Galaxy and the table-topping Asec Mimosas.
