After dominating Mamelodi Sundowns in the first leg final (2-1), Wydad de Casablanca is determined to win the return leg to clinch the African Football League (AFL) title. "The technical qualities and experience of the players allow them to play at the highest level of African competitions," said the coach of the Red and White club, Adil Ramzi, during the press conference preceding the return leg of the AFL final, scheduled for this Sunday at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, also assuring that his players "are motivated and intend to play with the same rhythm and the same spirit as the first leg, in order to face an opponent who has a vision and produces good play on the African level".
