Wydad AC asserted their Botola Pro title credentials with a commanding 3-1 victory over CODM Meknès at the Stade d'Honneur d'Oujda on Friday evening, delivering a statement performance powered by electric attacking and composed midfield play.

The tone was set almost immediately by Wydad’s aggressive start. Barely five minutes in, J. Bakasu broke the deadlock, slotting home after a clever assist from T. Lorch, whose vision carved open the CODM defense. The early goal unsettled the hosts, as Wydad’s pressing and neat possession exchanges kept Meknès on the back foot throughout the opening quarter-hour.

CODM’s hopes of a quick response faded as physicality crept in: L. Naji picked up an early yellow card in the 16th minute, setting a combative tone for the home midfield. Wydad capitalized on their control, doubling the lead in the 35th minute when T. Lorch—already influential—finished off a tidy move started by M. Moufid. Lorch’s close-range strike left CODM keeper grasping at thin air, and at 2-0, the visitors seemed fully in charge.

But the hosts showed resilience. Four minutes after conceding the second, A. Berdad reignited the contest, deftly steering home a well-placed cross from M. Sahd to bring CODM back to 2-1. The goal energized the Oujda crowd, but Wydad’s defensive discipline and smart game management saw them through a nervy spell either side of halftime, even as yellow cards stacked up for both teams—six cautions shown during a tense second half.

The outcome hung in the balance until the 80th minute, when super-sub H. Hannouri—introduced for a tiring Lorch—sealed the points for Wydad. Hannouri capped a swift counterattack with a composed finish, restoring the visitors’ two-goal cushion and silencing the home support.

Substitutions flowed as both benches sought to influence the outcome, but Wydad’s depth and organization saw them comfortably play out the closing moments, despite picking up a few late bookings. Ultimately, Wydad’s blend of technical quality and experienced game management proved decisive.

This result lifts Wydad AC further up the Botola Pro standings, consolidating their position among the league leaders, while CODM Meknès—despite flashes of promise—are left to regroup after a tough evening against a title contender.
