Wydad Casablanca left it late and struggled to earn a 2-2 home draw in their match-day 28 against Ittihad Tanger. Having lost their last league game to RSB Berkane, no doubt, Wydad Casablanca need it maximum three points to further consolidate and extend their points as their rivals, Raja Casablanca close the gap. Despite intense pressure from the hosts, it was the visitors that broke the deadlock in the 41st minute as Gaadaoui sublime finished silence the home fans. The first half ended 0-1. With many scoring chances wasted, Babatunde Michael restored parity in the 82nd minute when his low powerful shot was too hot to handle and could not be saved by the Ittihad goalkeeper. A well spirited Ittihad took the lead through Medhi Neghni effort for the second time in the game seven minute after Michael's equaliser. Comara 90th minute leveller saved Wydad Casablanca from back to back losses as his header beat Ittihad keeper. Waydad Casablanca are topping the Moroccan League with 55 points in 28 games closely followed by arch rival, Raja Casablanca who have 52 points from the same number of matches. The 2018/19 Moroccan have only two matches to the end of the season. Meanwhile, Wydad Casablanca will play against CS Sfaxien of Tunisia in the 2018/19 CAF Champions League final.
