Wydad Athletic Club (WAC) emphatically put Asante Kotoko on their level with a commanding 5-1 demolition in Casablanca.
The Moroccan giants came out firing on their home turf at Stade Mohammed V, showcasing their attacking prowess and tactical superiority.
After a narrow 1-0 win in Accra in the first leg, where Kotoko had to play with 10 men following a red card to goalkeeper Mohammed Camara, WAC really prepared for this return fixture.
Their relentless pressure and precise finishing resulted in a stunning five-goal haul, while Kotoko managed just a lone consolation goal from their skipper Samab Oneil.
Wydad’s dominant performance was marked by clinical finishing, fluid ball movement, and a compact defense that stifled Kotoko’s attempts to recover.
Meanwhile, Kotoko’s hopes of progression were dashed decisively, despite their spirited effort in the first leg.
This result reasserts Wydad’s strength in African club competitions and sends a clear signal to other challengers.
Kotoko, though resilient, must now regroup and refocus their efforts on future continental campaigns after this harsh lesson in Casablanca.
This emphatic win highlights the gulf in class and experience that Wydad brought to the crucial second-leg showdown, leaving no doubt about their superiority on the night.
The Casablanca crowd witnessed a dominant home display that restored the Moroccan outfit’s confidence and continental ambitions with a resounding 5-1 victory over the Ghanaian giants
