RABAT, April 13 (Xinhua) -- Morocco's Wydad Casablanca whitewashed Horoya of Guinea 5-0 on Saturday night in Rabat to advance to the semifinals of the African Champions League.

At a packed Complex Moulay Abdellah, Walid El karti gave the hosts an early lead on 20 and 31 minutes before defender Abdelatif Noussair added the third goal in the 34th.

In the second half, Mohamed Nahiri scored the fourth goal at the 59th before Zouhir Mottaraji completed the rout in the 85th.

In the first leg, Wydad drew 0-0 away against Horoya in Conakry last Saturday.

Wydad will face Sundowns of South Africa in the semifinals.

Wydad knocked Sundowns out at the quarterfinal stage when they won the competition in 2017.

The two teams shared the same group in this current season and Wydad narrowly edged Sundowns to top place in the standings.
