CAF Champions League Final: Wydad Casablanca Gain Series-Opening 1-1 Road Draw With Al-Ahly

At Alexandria, Egypt:

In Saturday's opening match of the CAF Champions League, Achraf Bencharki's equalizer in the 16th minute lifted Morocco's Wydad Casablanca to a series-opening 1-1 road draw with Al-Ahly.

Momen Zakaria scored for the Egyptian club in the third minute.

The series is set to conclude next Saturday at Casablanca, Morocco with the winner advancing to the FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled to take place in the United Arab Emirates in December.

Al-Ahly has won a record eight African continental club championships while Wydad Casablanca's lone title came in 1992 (this is their first appearance in the Final since 2011).
