Despite a 3-0 defeat to Wydad AC, Nairobi United earned praise from coach Salim Ali for their effort and determination.
Nairobi United coach Salim Ali has lauded his side despite a 3-0 loss to Wydad AC in their CAF Confederation Cup group stage opener at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca, Morocco, on Sunday, November 23.

Wydad AC vs Nairobi United: Coach Salim Ali Speaks Out
Speaking after the match, Salim Ali highlighted that Nairobi United was caught off guard by Wydad AC’s opening goal, which disrupted the team’s original game plan.
The coach explained that his side had anticipated a heavy attacking approach from Wydad AC and had prepared to defend resolutely, looking to capitalise on counter-attacking opportunities when they arose.
However, conceding so early forced the team to deviate from their intended strategy, requiring adjustments that ultimately did not play out in their favour.

Nordin Amrabat and Wydad Coach Explain Nairobi United’s Main Strength That Worries Them
Wydad captain Nordin Amrabat and his coach Amine Benhachem are wary of Nairobi United ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup meeting because of one key trait.
Salim Ali commended his players for their determination and effort throughout the match, noting that they fought hard to regain control and create scoring chances despite the challenging circumstances.
He acknowledged the frustration of struggling to find the back of the net but emphasised that the experience would serve as a valuable lesson for future games.
“After conceding the first early goal, a lack of concentration distorted our game plan because we had a very good game plan in terms of trying to defend very well, sit back and go out with a counterattack, but after conceding in the early stage then we had to open up our game,” Salim Ali said after the match.
