Salé
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Tiznit Amal Club's Rahim Zaza played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Abdellatif Belkhayat in the 18th minute of play. The corner ended in Hisham Lahoua almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Tiznit Amal Club's Rahim Zaza did a great save. If Younes Hadaouir had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 34th minute, Amestan Kachloul reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Rahim Zaza. The goal made the score 2-0. After a rather tough play, Salé Atletico's Asmun Ben Chrifa got a free kick in the 37th minute. Osmane Talha might have been able to make a better finish in the 40th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Hadji Ouaddou. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Osmane Talha ran back to his position shaking his head. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Abdellatif Belkhayat made a kick off. In the 52nd minute, Osmane Talha 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. After a defensive mix-up in Tiznit Amal Club's zone, Amestan Kachloul stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rahim Zaza came out of the goal and Amestan Kachloul tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 57th play minutes Osmane Talha shot 2-1, a short shot which went by Hadji Ouaddou and just under the crossbar into goal. Hadji Ouaddou showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Younes Hadaouir, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. 68 minutes into the game, Badis El Bahri was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tiznit Amal Club's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Salé Atletico the free kick. In the 70th minute Abdellatif Belkhayat shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rahim Zaza saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 71st minute, Abdellatif Belkhayat left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Salé Atletico fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1. In the 77th minute Abdellatif Belkhayat shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rahim Zaza saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hisham Lahoua, 79 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Younes Hadaouir sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Amestan Kachloul received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Rahim Zaza tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Amestan Kachloul had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tiznit Amal Club's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
