Safi Complèxe
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Winsen Boughanem kicked off to start the match. Sisangh Chafni took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 5th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Amestan Boussoufa. Marrakech's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Tahir Obbadi blasted a shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Amestan Boussoufa having to make a save. Winsen Boughanem blasted a shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Saif Bouhaja having to make a save. If Safi Zerouali had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Agwmar Ali in the 20th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Amestan Boussoufa saved Marrakech from getting behind. 31 minutes in the game, Agwmar Ali fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Amestan Boussoufa having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Marrakech's zone, Agwmar Ali stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Amestan Boussoufa came out of the goal and Agwmar Ali tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A collision led to Marrakech getting a freekick after 35 minutes play. Afalkay Chakir hit a great ball. Tahir Obbadi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Agwmar Ali received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 38th minute. Amestan Boussoufa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Tahir Obbadi came up free with the goalie in the 42nd minute, the Safi 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 Tahir Obbadi couldn't finish the play. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Agwmar Ali to make the kick off. If Safi Zerouali had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 61st minute, Agwmar Ali managed to get in a good position for a shot. Safi's supporters rose to their feet, but Agwmar Ali was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Amestan Boussoufa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 64 minutes into the game, Mazine El Asmar was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Marrakech's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Safi the free kick. Ashraf Samaoui kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. In the 68th minute of the match Akersim El Assas shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Amestan Boussoufa showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Agwmar Ali in the 70th minute of play forced Marrakech's goalkeeper Amestan Boussoufa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Marrakech's Afalkay Chakir got a free kick in the 70th minute. When Safi Zerouali came up free with the goalie in the 73rd minute, the Marrakech 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 Safi Zerouali couldn't finish the play. Saif Bouhaja didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Mazine El Asmar went, in the 79th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score.
