Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Adil El Asmar kicked off to start the match. Aghbalu Baba's late challenge caught a El Jadida's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aghbalu Baba helped the player get up and apologised. Aghbalu Baba kicked well hit freekick during the 3rd minute of the match. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Bukkus Molhamam in the 7th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Zaid Aouita prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 11th match minute, El Jadida was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Taoufiq Hadda to maneuver through the defense. El Jadida's Abdelali El Khayati got a good chance for a goal in the 14th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 16 minutes into the match, Abdelali El Khayati notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Khenifra Rachad's Zaid Aouita. Zaid Aouita was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tarek Abdelghani in the 23rd minute of play forced El Jadida's goalkeeper Ayman Farid to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Tarek Abdelghani blasted a shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ayman Farid having to make a save.

Abdelali El Khayati fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Zaid Aouita having to interfere. Zaid Aouita showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bukkus Molhamam, who was totally free with the ball in the 34th minute. The attack was good, but when Adil El Asmar in the 36th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. The supporters of Khenifra Rachad booed when El Jadida was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 37 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mohammad Abdelghani didn't get a good kick on the ball. The Khenifra Rachad players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. El Jadida were winning 0-1.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Abdelali El Khayati to strike the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Khenifra Rachad's goalkeeper Zaid Aouita had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Bukkus Molhamam. In the 56th minute Tarek Abdelghani shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ayman Farid saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 58 minutes, Bukkus Molhamam managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. El Jadida's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bukkus Molhamam was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Khenifra Rachad's zone, Abdelali El Khayati stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zaid Aouita came out of the goal and Abdelali El Khayati tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Bukkus Molhamam struck a weak shot in the 74th minute. Zaid Aouita didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for El Jadida. Zaid Aouita took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abdelali El Khayati, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Abdelali El Khayati sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of El Jadida booed when Khenifra Rachad was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. Aghbalu Baba didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Abdelali El Khayati had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tarek Abdelghani sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Ayman Farid stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Adil El Asmar's shot from short distance in the 87th minute. After having played for 89 minutes, Bukkus Molhamam managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. El Jadida's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bukkus Molhamam was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Salam Amazigh came up free with the goalie in the 94th minute, the Khenifra Rachad fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Salam Amazigh couldn't finish the play.
