Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Emad Kadmiri got the match started through his kick off. Berkane Renaissance's Atbir El Kaoutar proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 14th minute of the match, managed to save Berkane Renaissance from getting a goal against them. Taher Ait Omar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ismael Tahiri, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. Monir Agazou in the 24thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Atbir El Kaoutar, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. If Antalas Zaki had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Antalas Zaki was the one to do the kick off.

Emad Kadmiri ran back to his position shaking his head. Atbir El Kaoutar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Monir Agazou in the 55th minute of play. 63 minutes into the match, Berkane Renaissance's goal looked a bit too open when Monir Agazou came free, but Atbir El Kaoutar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Atbir El Kaoutar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Monir Agazou, who was totally free with the ball in the 67th minute. After a rather tough play, Berkane Renaissance's Azhar Madih got a free kick in the 69th minute. After having played for 70 minutes, Monir Agazou managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Larache Chabab's supporters crossed their fingers, but Monir Agazou was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Antalas Zaki received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 72nd minute. Taher Ait Omar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With his leg Taher Ait Omar managed to avoid a goal in the 75thth minute, when Berkane Renaissance's Antalas Zaki fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Atbir El Kaoutar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zuhair Jaafari, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Ismael Tahiri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Fadel Rabeh fell near the penalty area in the 87th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Berkane Renaissance's protests and gave Fadel Rabeh a yellow card for diving instead. In the 87th match minute, Berkane Renaissance was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Fadel Rabeh to maneuver through the defense. Abdelmajid Khlifi kicked well hit freekick during the 95th minute of the match. In the 98th minute, Ismael Tahiri made a precise shot to the right of Taher Ait Omar. Larache Chabab's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2.
