Military Dominance in Professional League
The Royal Army team has firmly secured its position at the top of the Professional League "Inwi" following a decisive 2-0 victory against Marrakech's Kawkab team. This victory came at a crucial time, especially after the setback faced by the Fassi Sports Club (MAS), who suffered a 2-1 defeat against RS Berkane. With this triumph, the Royal Army team has amassed a total of 52 points, putting them two points ahead of RS Berkane, who now has 50 points, while MAS lingers in third place with 49 points, tied with Raja Casablanca who also enjoyed success against Meknes City Club with a score of 2-1. Meanwhile, Wydad Casablanca continues to struggle, suffering another loss, this time against Hassania Agadir with a score of 1-0.
Exciting Matches Fueling the Competition
The Royal Army's recent win against Kawkab Marrakech was hard-fought, with the home team putting up a strong defense that kept the first half scoreless. However, the tide turned in the second half when the Royal Army was awarded a penalty in the 56th minute, successfully converted by player Reda Slim. They almost doubled their lead in the dying moments of the match but missed another penalty, only to be redeemed by Cherif Miso's last-minute goal in the 95th minute, sealing a vital victory.
On the other hand, RS Berkane has reignited its title challenge after a thrilling 2-1 win over the Fassi Sports Club. They took an early lead in just the second minute through striker Paul Valery Basse, returning from suspension. However, the Fassi response was swift, equalizing in the 7th minute thanks to Sofiane Benjadida, who capitalized on a brilliant pass from Hamza Ait Allal. RS Berkane regained the lead in the 35th minute with a well-placed shot from Youssef Mehri following a precise cross from Munir Chouiar.
Additionally, Raja Casablanca secured an important 2-1 victory against Meknes City Club, despite a tough match where they struggled to find their attacking rhythm. They opened the scoring in the 38th minute with a stunning long-range shot from Ayoub Barkouk, exploiting a lapse in the defense. The situation worsened for the Meknes team in the 45th minute when their goalkeeper received a red card for a reckless challenge, leaving them to play with ten men. Surprisingly, they managed to equalize in the 60th minute with a goal from Osama Al-Dawi, but Raja responded with a late winner in the 81st minute, only to face another red card in the 89th minute.
In a contrasting performance, Wydad suffered yet another defeat, this time at the hands of Hassania Agadir, with Osama Benshawash scoring the only goal of the match in the 27th minute after a swift counterattack led by Sofiane Abaziz. As the league continues, Olympic Dcheira also made headlines by defeating Fath Rabat with a clean 2-0 score, while Olympic Safi faced disappointment with a 1-0 loss against Yacoub Mansour Union. The round concluded with a goalless stalemate between Ittihad Tangier and Nahdat Zemamra.
