Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Haitham Merzouk started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Taroudant Najah's Haitham Merzouk got a good chance for a goal in the 6th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Ayur Jrindou received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Yousri Bezzai tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 10th minute Ayur Jrindou shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yousri Bezzai saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tijani Rwina received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 12th minute. Sayid Ataba tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Agafay Tahiri charged in rather forcefully in the 14th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Agafay Tahiri the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Ziad Fouhami was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 14th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. If Ayur Jrindou had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Massin Regragui's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Sayid Ataba read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 32nd minute of play. Ayur Jrindou fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yousri Bezzai having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Taroudant Najah's Bukkus El Bahri got a free kick in the 40th minute. The Berkane players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Taroudant Najah were winning 0-1.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Massin Regragui to strike the kick off in the second half. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Massin Regragui in the 51st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Sayid Ataba saved Taroudant Najah from getting behind. Tijani Rwina's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Sayid Ataba read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 55th minute of play. A hard shot 60 in the game by Haitham Merzouk from a close distance when the talented Yousri Bezzai managed to make a qualified save. Berkane's players were relieved. Rouchd Khlifi took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 62nd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Yousri Bezzai. Berkane's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After 91 minutes, Rouchd Khlifi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Taroudant Najah and the Berkane players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Taroudant Najah's Rouchd Khlifi got a free kick in the 91st minute. The Taroudant Najah players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
