Wydad Casablanca held to a draw by COD Meknès

COD Meknès held Wydad Casablanca to a goalless draw in their match at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, in the third round of the Moroccan Professional League, denying the red team the chance to secure their second home win of the season.

The two teams failed to find the net throughout the match, despite a large turnout of Wydad Casablanca supporters filling the stands of the 'Dounor' stadium to back their team.

The match saw several missed scoring opportunities, particularly from Wydad Casablanca's forwards, who lacked precision in the final touch. Congolese striker Silver was unable to capitalize on the chances that came his way, while Anas Zniti, the COD Meknès goalkeeper, shone with his crucial interventions, keeping a clean sheet alongside his Wydad counterpart El Mehdi Benabid.

In contrast, COD Meknès delivered a well-organized performance and managed to keep pace with Wydad Casablanca throughout the match, despite the significant crowd pressure at the Mohammed V Stadium, earning a valuable point from the heart of Casablanca.

This draw is another setback for Wydad Casablanca at home, having begun their campaign in the competition with a loss to Wydad Temara by a score of 3-1, as the team continues to drop points in front of their fans.

With this result, Wydad Casablanca has raised its tally to four points, occupying eighth place, while COD Meknès has reached the same total, sitting in fifth place, according to the standings after the third round.
