Babatunde Stars as Wydad beats Sundowns in CAFCL semis

Nigeria World Cup midfield player Michael Babatunde, was in top form for Wydad Casablanca as the morrocan side beats  Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 at home on Friday.

 

The 2014 Brazil World Cup revelation was deployed in unfamiliar role against the visiting South African side.

 

Wydad took the lead within the opening 24th minutes into the game through Saidi who finished past Oyango in goal for Sundowns after a counter-attack.

 

The home side almost doubled their lead in the 32nd minute as a first-time shot from Ismail El-Haddad gave Onyango a few issues, thus needing a defensive clearance to save the day.

 

Babatunde also tested Onyango in the 40th minute after a  good combination with El-Haddad.
