Hope ST lost on the score of 1-0, today in the first leg of the semi-final of the African Football League against the Wydad of Casablanca.
The “blood and gold” could have hoped for this perilous trip better before the return match next Wednesday in Rades. Indeed, it was not the opportunities that missed.
From 6 ‘, Osama Bouguerra, alone at the second post, when opening the scoring, but he misses his control. At the 41 ‘, Rodrigues’ opportunity is saved by the Wydad goalkeeper. And at the 50 ‘, the Ogbelu Uutek strike passes next to the Moroccan post.
In the 59 ‘, the Wydad opened the scoring following a center-out of Hicham Boussefiane who deceives the Esperantist defense and the porter Moez Ben Cherifia. Three minutes earlier, the transverse saves the east of a second goal.
The storm passed, is puts it from order in its ranks and gets a new opportunity when Bouguerra’s strike is pushed back to the goal line (65 ‘).
After the ascendancy of the Moroccans, the game is balanced but it will be insufficient to restore balance for “blood and gold”.
