Wydad Casablanca triumphed over Tanzania's Azam with a score of 2-0, successfully progressing to the quarter-finals of the African Confederation Cup. This victory, achieved on Sunday, allowed Wydad to top Group B with 15 points, three points ahead of second-placed Maniema Union, who also won their match against Nairobi United 3-0. As a result, both teams have moved forward in the tournament, while Azam finished third in the group with nine points.

The match saw Wydad come close to scoring early on, with Ayoub Bouchiti's attempt hitting the crossbar in the sixth minute, and Azam's Eddie Salman Nado hitting the post shortly after. Despite various attempts from both sides, the first half ended goalless. It was not until the 63rd minute that the breakthrough occurred, initiated by a run from Nourdin Amrabat, whose low cross inadvertently found the net due to an own goal from Pascal Masindo.

Ziyech's contributions were pivotal throughout the match, and he almost added to the score after making a strong effort just before halftime. The victory not only showcases Wydad's strength in North African football but also emphasizes the importance of Ziyech in playing a key role in his club's successes, further bolstering their chances in the tournament ahead.
