Wydad Club achieved a precious away victory against its host, Ghana's Ashanti Kotoko, with a score of one goal to none, in the match that brought the two teams together on Sunday evening at the "Accra Sports Stadium", as part of the first leg of the second preliminary round of the African Confederation Cup.

The Moroccan team controlled the proceedings of the first half and created several goal-scoring opportunities through attempts from Lamine Laarouj and his teammates, but the lack of effectiveness in front of the goal prevented them from converting these chances into goals.

After the break, Wydad managed to break the deadlock with a goal from player Joseph Bakasso in the 47th minute, giving his team a valuable advantage ahead of the return leg. The match saw the expulsion of the Ghanaian team's goalkeeper in the 50th minute after a strong intervention outside the penalty area, which increased the suffering of the home team in the remaining minutes of the match.

The return match is expected to take place on Friday, October 24, at the Mohammed V Complex in Casablanca, starting at 8:00 PM (GMT +1), in a match where Wydad aims to secure qualification to the next round.
