League Play-Off

Casablanca
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Itri El Amrani started the match with the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, Younes Fenkar managed to get in a good position for a shot. Al-Hoceima's supporters rose to their feet, but Younes Fenkar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Daoud Tahiri breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Antalas Chadli hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. After recieving a nice pass, Casablanca Union's Ghalib Chippo tried to score from far away in the 8th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. 12 minutes into the match, Casablanca Union's goal looked a bit too open when Itri El Amrani came free, but Daoud Tahiri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Zouheir Zeryouh fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aslal Ait Omar having to interfere. Mennad Boulami in the 18thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Aslal Ait Omar, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. 23 minutes into the match, Massyl Touzani dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Aslal Ait Omar, 1-0. 28 minutes into the game, Younes Fenkar cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Daoud Tahiri was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. An unexpected shot in the 32nd minute by Mennad Boulami got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. If Mennad Boulami had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 39th minute, Zouheir Zeryouh 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. Zouheir Zeryouh sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Zouheir Zeryouh to strike the kick off in the second half. When Itri El Amrani came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Al-Hoceima 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 Itri El Amrani couldn't finish the play. Boutahar El Karkouri hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. Taha Touzani kicked well hit freekick during the 55th minute of the match.

In the 68th minute of the match Marwan Zaza shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Aslal Ait Omar showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Mennad Boulami recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 70th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Itri El Amrani struck a weak shot in the 73rd minute. Daoud Tahiri didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Al-Hoceima. 76 minutes into the match, Al-Hoceima's Younes Fenkar sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Daoud Tahiri narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Massyl Belmahjoub took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 84th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Daoud Tahiri.
