Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Khaled Settati took the kick off in the first half of the match. Fouad Bendahman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ghazi Hermach having to interfere. In the 14th minute, Afulay Benjelloun 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. Tahir Boukemouch might have been able to make a better finish in the 16th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tajeddine Ahanfouf. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tahir Boukemouch ran back to his position shaking his head. Sadid Bassir charged in rather forcefully in the 21st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Sadid Bassir the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 21 played minutes Khemisset Raja got a freekick which was hit by Sadid Bassir. Afra Aissati struck a weak shot in the 28th minute. Ghazi Hermach didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Azrou Raja. In the 29th minute, Safi El Hamdaoui hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Khaled Settati's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ghazi Hermach read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 36th minute of play. Khaled Settati sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Tahir Boukemouch came up free with the goalie in the 44th minute, the Khemisset Raja 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 Boukemouch couldn't finish the play. 48 minutes into the match, Khemisset Raja's Tahir Boukemouch sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tajeddine Ahanfouf narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

When Azrou Raja's Afra Aissati in the 79th minute got a chance for a shot 79th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Khemisset Raja's goalie prevented a goal. A hard shot 92 in the game by Afulay Benjelloun from a close distance when the talented Tajeddine Ahanfouf managed to make a qualified save. Azrou Raja's players were relieved.
