Masud on target as Difaa fall to Champions Wydad

Kenyan international, Masud Juma was on target as his Moroccan club Difaa El Jadidi suffered a 3-1 defeat in the hands of African champions, Wydad Casablanca on Monday night at the Mohammed V Complex Stadium.

Difaa were seeking to make it two wins in two games after their midweek 1-0 win over Union de Touarga in the opening match of the season but things did not go their way as the champions eased to a 3-1 triumph to go top in the Botola table.

Eight minutes into the game, Attiat Allah gave the hosts the lead and four minutes later, Ghanaian Junior Sambou made it 2-0 as the hosts threatened to run riot. Difaa however managed to contain the attacks and did not concede more in the first stanza of the game.

Three minutes into the second half, Ayman El Hassouni put the match beyond El Jadidi's reach with the third goal of the match. Masud then pulled a consolation goal for the visitors in the 56th minute as their efforts to get anything out of the game were thwarted by the hosts.

El Jadidi are sixth in the log with three points from their opening day win. Next for them is a home match against SC Chabab Mohammedia on Friday 16th September.
