Mohamed Rayhi Leads Botola Pro Inwi Golden Boot Race Under Mokwena’s Guidance

One of Rulani Mokwena’s key players at Wydad Athletic Club has surged to the top of the Botola Pro Inwi Golden Boot race, marking a significant milestone in the Johannesburg-born coach’s tenure in Morocco.

Mokwena Finding His Stride in Casablanca

When Mokwena arrived at Wydad, he initially struggled to establish consistency. The 2024/25 campaign began with mixed results, as victories were often followed by disappointing draws or defeats. However, the Red Castle now seems to have found their rhythm, climbing to second place in the standings amid a five-game winning streak.

This position marks the highest Wydad has been all season and comes as a boost for the club, which is aiming to return to the CAF Champions League after failing to qualify for continental football for the first time in a decade.

Wydad’s Biggest Win of the Season

Their most recent triumph, a commanding 5-1 victory over SCC Mohammedia, showcased their growing confidence and attacking prowess. The standout performer in this emphatic win was Dutch-born winger Mohamed Rayhi, who has been in red-hot form in recent weeks.

Rayhi’s Rise in the Goal-Scoring Charts

Like Mokwena, Rayhi joined Wydad at the start of the season and initially struggled to adapt. In his first 11 league appearances, the 30-year-old winger managed just two goals. However, he has since found his stride, netting seven times in his last eight matches to climb to the top of the Botola Pro Inwi Golden Boot race.

Eyes on the Title Race

As the season progresses, Mokwena will be hoping Rayhi continues his impressive form, as Wydad aims to close the gap on league leaders RS Berkane, who currently hold a 13-point advantage. With momentum on their side, the Casablanca giants will be determined to maintain their push for domestic glory and secure their return to Africa’s premier club competition.
