Wydad Athletic Club’s coach expressed satisfaction after his side claimed a 1-0 derby victory over Raja, stressing that matches of this nature are ultimately about winning rather than performance alone.
The win at the Mohammed V Stadium gave Wydad an important morale boost after a difficult spell and helped the team regain confidence in the Botola Pro title race.
Speaking after the match, the coach said derbies “are won, not played,” while underlining his belief that Wydad can return to the right path in the coming fixtures.
Wydad sealed the match through Joseph Bakasu’s goal in the 39th minute, converting a well-timed pass inside the box to secure three valuable points against their historic rivals.
The result carries special weight for Wydad supporters, as it ended a long wait for a league derby win over Raja and offered the team a platform to rebuild momentum.
