The urgency is at the highest level for Wydad AC to overturn a shock 0-1 first leg home defeat against Kaizer Chiefs in the CAF Champions League semifinal, and the Moroccan club’s ownership is willing to put an extra reward on the line to motivate their team to get the job done when they travel to South Africa for the return leg. With each player being promised €7,500 on top of the bonus they would have already received, there are no excuses for the WAC squad if they fail to obtain a positive result. To give their starters a full rest before the match, the Wydad coaching staff used fringe players in their midweek Botola Pro league match against RS Berkane, a game Wydad won 2-0.
