Hearts of Oak captain Fatawu Mohammed has expressed confidence in his side’s ability to surmount the challenge posed by Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club.
Ghanaian powerhouse Hearts of Oak will now come face to face with Moroccan giants Wydad in the 2nd round of the preliminary stages of the CAF Champions League after posting a 2-0 win over Cl Kamsar from Guinea.
The Phobians will host the 21-time Moroccan champions at the Accra Sports Stadium in October 2021, before facing The Red Castle at the Stade Mohammed V in the return fixture.
Hearts captain Fatawu speaking on Asempa Fm said “Wydad Casablanca is a big club but Hearts Of Oak is bigger, the Phobians will overcome the Moroccan Botola side over the two legs”
“I’m very confident we will overcome them. We are very determined”
Substitute Kofi Kordzi curled in an expertly taken free-kick from 20 yards before 19-year-old midfielder Salim Adams, who was introduced in the dying embers of the game, unleashed a thunderous drive from similar yards out to nail the coffin of the stubborn Guinean side.
Hearts of Oak will host the Moroccans between October 15-16 before the second leg in Casablanca between October 22-23.
