Wydad Athletic Club vs Hearts to be played behind closed doors
Accra Hearts of Oak’s CAF Champions League second-round qualifying second leg game against Wydad Athletic will be played behind closed doors according to reports.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has ordered for the game to be played behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 situation in Morocco.
On the contrary, the first leg in Accra was played in front of 2,000 fans after CAF issued a directive to Hearts Of Oak through the Ghana Football Association.
Hearts of Oak will be hoping to secure qualification to the group stages of the CAF Champions League after earning an impressive 1-0 win over Wydad in Accra.

Wydad Athletic Club will play hosts to the reigning Ghana Premier League champions in Casablanca on October 23, 2021 at 19:00 GMT.
The winner of the tie over double legs will progress to the group stage of the Champions League and the loser will play in the last qualifying round of the Confederations Cup in a bid to qualify for the group stage of that competition.
