The crossbar came to ES Tunis' rescue late on, as Youcef Belaili's effort from the first leg proved enough for the three-time CAF Champions League winners.

Wydad, champions in 2017, will provide their opposition in the final after drawing 0-0 with Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria to secure a 2-1 aggregate victory.

ES Tunis will travel to Casablanca in the first leg of the final on May 24, with the second leg set for May 31.
