El Jadida
Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Through an outstanding action, after 9 minutes, Nadir Belabed successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. When Izri El Hadrioui came up free with the goalie in the 15th minute, the Al-Hoceima Najah 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 Izri El Hadrioui couldn't finish the play. El Jadida Chabab's Aslal Atif played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Izri El Hadrioui in the 19th minute of play. Izri El Hadrioui fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aslal Atif having to interfere. Loutfi Mokhtari recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 28th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 29 minutes into the game, Azhar Remch was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. El Jadida Chabab's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Al-Hoceima Najah the free kick. Azhar Remch kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. Izri El Hadrioui fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aslal Atif having to interfere.

Loutfi Mokhtari sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

The wind increased when Sayid Settati made the kick off in the second half. After 58 played minutes, El Jadida Chabab's Azulay Chakir shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Nadir Belabed came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in El Jadida Chabab reached it. Aslal Atif was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 60th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Badis El Kaoutar. Nadir Belabed took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sayid Settati, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sayid Settati in the 62nd minute of play forced Al-Hoceima Najah's goalkeeper Nadir Belabed to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Wakil Bendahman hit a great freekick 70 minutes into the match. After 72 played minutes El Jadida Chabab got a freekick which was hit by Wakil Bendahman.

Despite being the better team, Al-Hoceima Najah failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
