Wydad host the return match on Wednesday and are firm favourites to win the tie and set up a semi-final showdown with TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo or Tunisian side Esperance.
Wydad have been outstanding performers in Africa for some time, reaching four of the last seven CAF Champions League finals and winning two.
Coach Finidi George, a 1995 UEFA Champions League winner with Ajax Amsterdam, faces a major challenge with his attackers, who had 20 attempts at goal but only one on target.Mazembe, five-time African champions, put aside a troubled build-up to edge Esperance 1-0 in the Tanzanian city of Dar es Salaam.
Mazembe, who are based in the southern city of Lubumbashi, forfeited home advantage after Congolese custom officials refused to allow CAF equipment into the country. In other first legs, Simba of Tanzania drew 2-2 at home to Al Ahly of Egypt on Friday and South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns triumphed 2-0 at Petro Luanda of Angola on Saturday.
