Wydad Casablanca and Olympique de Safi played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the CAF Confederation Cup on March 23, 2026, a result that leaves the group stage finely balanced. The match kicked off at 03:00 at Wydad's home ground and saw the hosts take the lead twice, only to be pegged back on both occasions by a determined Safi side. Wydad opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner in the 25th minute, but Safi equalized just before halftime against the run of play. The second half followed a similar pattern, with Wydad restoring their lead through a penalty, but Safi's relentless pressure was rewarded with a late, dramatic equalizer in the 88th minute. The key incident was a controversial disallowed goal for Wydad in the second half, with the referee ruling a player offside after a lengthy VAR check. The draw means both teams take a point from a tough group fixture, with Wydad perhaps the more disappointed side after leading twice at home. The Wydad coach pointed to missed chances, while the Safi manager praised his team's never-say-die attitude.
