Former Orlando Pirates and Sundowns star Thembinkosi Lorch is indeed back to his very best.
A fully fit and confident Lorch has always been a treat, and now Wydad Casablanca are reaping the rewards of their faith in Nyoso.
In his last three games, the South African star has two goals and one assist to his name.
He was on hand for Wydad in their CAF Confederation Cup qualifier against Asante Kotoko on Friday evening. Take a look at his sublime penalty kick below.

During Wydad’s 5-1 triumph over Ghana’s Katoko, Thembinkosi Lorch scored a panenka penalty kick. Watch the highlights of his goal below.
Following their victory, the Moroccan giants have officially qualified for the Confederation Cup group stages.
They’ll be banking on their South African star to guide them to the prestigious title this season.
Lorch joined Wydad on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns at the beginning of the year.
He was arguably in the worst space of his career when he joined them, following a difficult spell at Masandawana.
‘Nyoso’ firing on all cylinders
The former Orlando Pirates ace is back to his best form. So far at the Moroccan giants, he managed to score six goals in just 22 appearances.
This includes some captivating performances at the FIFA Club World Cup. So much so that Wydad went all out to sign Lorch on permanent basis from Sundowns after the tournament.
In total, the former Bafana Bafana star has made over 250 senior appearances in career. He has found the back of the net on 43 occasions while assisting an impressive 38 more goals.
