JOHANNESBURG — Moroccan football club Wydad Casablanca made a good start to the CAF Confederation Cup group phase by holding AC Leopards 1-1 in Congo Brazzaville Saturday. Eric Niemba scored his fourth goal this season in the second-tier competition after 10 minutes for Leopards, the surprise side among the eight chasing a $660,000 top prize. But Wydad hopes of becoming the third consecutive Confederation Cup title holder from Morocco after FUS Rabat and Moghreb Fes were enhanced when Abderrazak El Mnasfi leveled on the hour mark.
