Caf Champions League wrap: Wydad thrash USM Alger, Zamalek and TP Mazembe draw

Last year’s Caf Champions League finalists Wydad Casablanca won their third game of the group with a 3-1 win against Algerian outfit USM Alger at Stade Mohamed V to guarantee progress to the Round of 16.

Before kick-off, Wydad and USM were on six and two points respectively, and a loss at the hands of the visitors would have put Sebastien Desabre’s troops facing a nail-biting final game against Group C leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

First-half goals from Walid El Karti, Badie Aouk and Kasengu Kazadi saw the Moroccan side cruise into a comfortable lead at the break.
