South African winger Thembinkosi Lorch provided a brilliant assist for Nordin Amrabat as Wydad Casablanca beat Azam 1-0 in their CAF Confederation Cup tie away in Tanzania on Friday night.
The win saw Wydad consolidate their spot at the top of Group B with six points having scored four goals without conceding in their opening two outings.
Lorch has revived his career in Morocco after he had difficulty time with Mamelodi Sundowns. The 32-year-old has missed out on Hugo Broos’ Bafana Bafana squad for the AFCON despite having a good season so far and previously having a good outing in the FIFA Club World Cup.
‘Nyoso’ provided an assist once again, in his second consecutive match as Amrabat gave Wydad a 57th-minute lead against Azam. This took his goal contribution to 10 in 10 this season making him the most influential player in the Wydad AC team.
The Red Castle go top of Group B with six points leaving Azam with no points after two games and AS Maniema Union with three points and still to play their game against Nairobi United.
