Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Khemisset Kawkab's Ralib Sbai started the match with a crisp pass.

Labib Chafni hit a great ball. In the 8th minute of the match Monir Lamin sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Anir Farras skillfully saved the ball. Soubhi Abarou came out of the goal in the 13th minute to try and stop a shot by Khemisset Kawkab's Amanar Boukhari. But to his dismay, Amanar Boukhari quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. In the 17th minute, Ralib Sbai made a precise shot to the right of Soubhi Abarou. Marrakech Wifak's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. 28 minutes into the match, Ralib Sbai notched a goal, 0-4, to the right of Marrakech Wifak's Soubhi Abarou.

Soubhi Abarou showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ralib Sbai in the 41st minute of the match. If Amanar Boukhari had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Emad Malki's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Anir Farras firmly grabbed it by the left post.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Gaya El Mrini was the one to do the kick off. In the 51st minute, Abdelkhaliq Essamlali hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Anir Farras took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gaya El Mrini, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 65th minute, Monir Lamin sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Khemisset Kawkab's Anir Farras didn't even have to move. Emad Malki fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anir Farras having to interfere. In the 71st minute Gaya El Mrini shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anir Farras saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 72 minutes, Gaya El Mrini put it in 1-4 from a short distance just to the right of Anir Farras. 76 minutes into the match, Khemisset Kawkab's Ralib Sbai sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Soubhi Abarou narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Amanar Boukhari had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 78th minute the ball was on its way in behind Marrakech Wifak's goalkeeper Soubhi Abarou, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 2-4 became the score in the 83rd minute when Gaya El Mrini elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Labib Chafni fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Soubhi Abarou having to interfere.

Ralib Sbai blasted a shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Soubhi Abarou having to make a save. The Khemisset Kawkab supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Khemisset Kawkab would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
