Kaku scores go-ahead goal and Al Ain downs Wydad 2-1 at Club World Cup
Manchester City defeated Juventus 5-2 simultaneously in Orlando, Florida, to claim the top spot in the group.
Wydad coach Mohamed Amine Benhachem was at the game on crutches following a traffic accident with a team physician earlier in the week. No one involved in the accident was seriously injured, but the Moroccan coach was unable to attend the team's news conference the day before the match.
Wydad scored in the fourth minute. Cassius Mailula found himself unchallenged at the end of a cross by Mohamed Moufid and beat goalkeeper Rui Patrício at the near post. Mailula is currently on loan to Wydad from Toronto FC in Major League Soccer.
Kodjo Laba converted a penalty just before halftime to pull Al Ain even.
Al Ain took the lead in the 50th minute when Paraguayan international Kaku finished into the upper right corner. Wydad centerback Jamal Harkass was injured in the run-up to the goal and had to be taken off on a stretcher.

Dubai , UAE, 18th August, 2025: Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), will meet with Paraguayan President Santiago Peña to discuss global motorsport and mobility issues during next week's annual FIA American Congress in Asunción. The congress, to be officially opened on Monday 25th August by President Peña, brings together mobility and motorsport leaders from across the Americas to review key initiatives in road safety, sustainable mobility, regional sporting growth, and innovation in transport. Hosted by the Touring y Automóvil Club Paraguayo (TACPy), the three-day event will also set the stage for a historic moment in Paraguayan motorsport as the country debuts on the FIA World Rally Championship calendar, with the WRC Rally del Paraguay taking place in the Itapúa region from 28-31 August.

Niger frustrates South Africa to keep Group C on a knife edge
Published: Friday, 15 August 2025 South Africa were left to rue missed opportunities and VAR drama after being held to a goalless draw by Niger in their TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) Group C clash in Kampala on Friday night. The result at the Nelson Mandela Stadium means Bafana Bafana remain on five points, level with Algeria and just one behind leaders Uganda, with all three sides still fighting for a place in the quarter-finals. The evening's biggest talking points came in the first half when South Africa were denied two penalties after lengthy video reviews. In the 18th minute, Moroccan referee Bouchra Kerboubi initially pointed to the spot for a handball inside the Niger box. However, after reviewing the footage on the pitchside monitor, she overturned her decision. As the half drew to a close, South Africa appealed again for a penalty during stoppage time. This time too, after a VAR consultation, the referee waved play on — leaving South Africa frustrated and their fans incensed. Despite controlling possession and creating the clearer chances, Murfy Ntseki's side found Niger's defence, marshalled with resilience by coach Harouna Doula's men, impossible to break down. For Niger, who came into the match on the back of two defeats and without a point, the result represented a measure of pride. Their defensive organisation stood in stark contrast to earlier group performances, as they repeatedly stifled South Africa's attempts in the final third. While chances of qualification were already gone, Doula's team showed determination to make their mark on the competition, frustrating a side with quarterfinal ambitions. The second half followed a similar pattern, with South Africa dominating possession but lacking the cutting edge to capitalise. Ntseki introduced fresh legs in attack to try and force a breakthrough, while Doula countered with changes aimed at bolstering Niger's defence and exploiting counter-attacking opportunities. Neither approach paid dividends. South Africa's forwards struggled with their finishing, while Niger's rare forays forward never truly troubled the Bafana Bafana goalkeeper. The goalless stalemate has left Group C finely balanced heading into the final round of fixtures. Uganda sit top on six points, despite not playing in this round. South Africa and Algeria are level on five points, with Algeria ahead on goal difference, while Niger collected their first point but remain bottom alongside eliminated Guinea. The permutations are clear: South Africa must now beat hosts Uganda in their final match to be certain of qualification. Algeria, meanwhile, require only a draw against already-eliminated Niger to advance. With three sides still vying for two quarterfinal places, the stage is set for a dramatic conclusion to Group C. For South Africa, the draw against Niger was a missed opportunity, but their fate is still in their hands. As Ntseki summed up afterwards, his team 'must be clinical' when they face Uganda in what promises to be one of the most decisive fixtures of the tournament so far.

Survival Showdown: Morocco and Zambia brace for high-stakes CHAN clash
With the group stage clock ticking down, Morocco and Zambia step into Thursday's encounter knowing that only victory will keep their TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 dreams alive. At Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, pride, redemption, and a quarter-final lifeline are all on the line. Both sides have endured frustrating starts. For Morocco, a shock defeat to Kenya has left them teetering on the edge. For Zambia, two opening losses have tested their resilience and resolve. But in tournament football, the present matters far more than the past — and on this stage, either team could rewrite their storyline. Grant Calls for Character After Tough Start Zambia coach Avram Grant knows his team is in must-win territory. After losing to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola, his message is simple: respond with belief and intent. 'We didn't want to lose the two games but it is part of the game. We are concentrating in our team not opponents. Sometimes you lose and draw. We will not copy Morocco but play something that is good for us. We respect Morocco and they play good,' he said. Grant, whose experience spans World Cups and continental finals, is demanding a mindset shift. 'There is no perfect game. We created chances but it happens. We will do everything to win tomorrow. We need to have the winning mentality, show the character after the disappointing two losses. We hope the players react well.' A win for the Chipolopolo would not just lift them off the bottom of Group A — it would keep them in the quarter-final conversation, with everything still possible before the group's final day. Sektioui Demands Discipline and Mental Toughness On the opposite bench, Moroccan coach Tarik Sektioui faces his own survival mission. His Atlas Lions, currently fourth in the group, cannot afford another slip-up. 'We have learned the necessary lessons after our defeat against Kenya and we are now focused on a victory against Zambia to take the three points,' he said. Sektioui has spent the days since the Kenya loss tightening tactics and correcting mistakes. 'The most important thing is the lessons we learned from the defeat. We analyzed our performance and corrected the shortcomings observed to meet the challenge of the Zambia match and honor the national flag.' And while the statistics suggest Morocco has the upper hand, the coach refuses to underestimate the challenge. 'It will not be easy because in modern football there are no weak teams anymore, as they all have access to the same techniques and preparation conditions. The only difference is the mindset and the mentality to win.' Zambia's Fragile Right Flank vs. Morocco's Need for Precision Zambia's defensive vulnerability — particularly down the right — has been an open invitation for opponents. Four goals conceded in the tournament have stemmed from this side, a weakness Morocco will be eager to exploit. Players like Youssef Belaamari could play a decisive role if they can combine bold overlapping runs with quick link-up play to unpick the Chipolopolo backline. But Morocco's issue isn't creating opportunities — it's finishing them. Against Kenya, too many passes into the box lacked precision or timing. The wide players will need to stretch Zambia's defence, force errors, and deliver with conviction. Players Aware of the Weight of the Occasion Morocco's Amine Souane says the squad understands what's at stake. 'Preparations for the match against Zambia are going well and the players are aware of the responsibility they have.' For Souane, it's about changing the mindset from the Kenya defeat. 'In the match against Kenya, we lacked the finishing touch, but the defeat is now behind us and we will approach the next match in a different way and with a different mindset to secure a victory.' One Match, Two Destinies The equation is straightforward — win and the dream stays alive, lose and the journey ends prematurely. For Zambia, this is a chance to transform a faltering campaign into one of resilience. For Morocco, it's about reclaiming their identity as a continental force and proving that a stumble doesn't define a tournament. When the whistle blows in Nairobi, the stakes will be clear: one team's survival, one team's heartbreak.
