The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Omar Benzakour was the one to do the kick off. If Izemrasen Diba had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Idir Zaki stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Mohammad Settati. 2-1. When Tarfaya Wafa's Akersim Skah in the 67th minute got a chance for a shot 67th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie.
