Impressive Start for Mabasa and Maghreb Association Sportive de Fès
Former Orlando Pirates striker, Tshegofatso Mabasa, has made a remarkable impact in the Moroccan Botola Pro league, continuing his excellent form as he helped the Maghreb Association Sportive de Fès ascend to the top of the standings. In a thrilling match held on Saturday night, the defending champions showcased their prowess by defeating Renaissance Zemamra with a scoreline of 2-1, marking a strong start to their season just before the international break.
In this encounter, both Mabasa and teammate Devin Titus played pivotal roles, contributing significantly to their team's success. The match saw the visitors take an early lead in the 27th minute, thanks to Anas El Mahraoui who skillfully finished from close range after receiving a well-placed assist from Titus. Mabasa then extended the lead six minutes before halftime by successfully converting a penalty, bringing his tally to two goals in as many league games, thus solidifying his position as a key player for the team.
Despite a spirited comeback attempt from Hassania Agadir, who managed to score in the 56th minute through a penalty converted by Imad Riahi, the effort proved insufficient as the match ended 2-1 in favor of Maghreb Fès. Mabasa's performance, coupled with his ability to complete the full 90 minutes, has certainly set the tone for what looks to be an exciting season ahead for both him and the club.
