Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Misbah Yaacoubi got the match started through his kick off. Mazine Farid took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Winsen Zaki, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Izem El Asmar kicked well hit freekick during the 14th minute of the match. In the 15th minute Misbah Yaacoubi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Safwane Taouni saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Malek Kachloul's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mazine Farid was relentless in the 22nd minute of the game. 25 minutes into the match, Winsen Zaki notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Larache Fath's Mazine Farid. Mazine Farid was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Malek Kachloul had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. If Winsen Zaki had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Aylal Ahanfouf during the 31st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Aylal Ahanfouf hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match. After 33 played minutes Er Rachidia got a freekick which was hit by Misifsen Fenkar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Winsen Zaki in the 37th minute of play forced Larache Fath's goalkeeper Mazine Farid to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 40 minutes into the match, Er Rachidia's goalkeeper Safwane Taouni had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Azulay Boussoufa. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

Larache Fath's Mazine Farid proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 53rd minute of the match, managed to save Larache Fath from getting a goal against them. If Winsen Zaki had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Er Rachidia's zone, Misbah Yaacoubi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Safwane Taouni came out of the goal and Misbah Yaacoubi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The supporters of Er Rachidia booed when Larache Fath was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 60 match minutes in a wonderful position. Meissour Berkouch didn't get a good kick on the ball. Malek Kachloul recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 63rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 64th minute, Winsen Zaki got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 66th minute the ball was on its way in behind Larache Fath's goalkeeper Mazine Farid, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Malek Kachloul fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mazine Farid having to interfere. 74 minutes into the match, Misbah Yaacoubi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Safwane Taouni. Er Rachidia's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Misbah Yaacoubi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Er Rachidia's Safwane Taouni played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Misbah Yaacoubi in the 79th minute of play. After having played for 81 minutes, Misbah Yaacoubi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Larache Fath's supporters crossed their fingers, but Misbah Yaacoubi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Malek Kachloul fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mazine Farid having to interfere. Misbah Yaacoubi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Safwane Taouni tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Azulay Boussoufa recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 90th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Winsen Zaki managed to get in a good position for a shot. Er Rachidia's supporters rose to their feet, but Winsen Zaki was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mazine Farid breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Er Rachidia were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
