Wydad Casablanca and Esperance de Tunis shared the spoils in the first leg of the Caf Champions League final, as Cheick Comara's header cancelled out Fousseny Coulibaly's opener in a 1-1 draw overshadowed by two VAR calls.
The clash at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat may have lacked in quality for large periods, but it didn’t lack in drama, as the 2017 and the 2018 winners of Africa's premier club competition went toe to toe.
After an opening 40 minutes which were regularly interrupted due to both sides’ incessant fouling and bickering, the visiting Tunisians drew first blood in the North African derby when Coulibaly took advantage of some slack marking to send Moine Chaabani’s side in front, and with a vital away goal.
