Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) In the 2nd minute, Sajed Belkhayat hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience thought a goal was coming when Safi Kolna Mgharba got free with Meddur Kolna Mgharba in the 9th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 12th match minute, Taza was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Usus El Brazi to maneuver through the defense. 14 minutes into the match, Azrou's goal looked a bit too open when Rachad Soauri came free, but Meddur Kolna Mgharba reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rachad Soauri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Meddur Kolna Mgharba tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 23 played minutes, Azrou's Abdelhafiz Samaoui shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Salem Bouden came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Azrou reached it. Rachad Soauri struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Meddur Kolna Mgharba didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Taza. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aderbal El Assas in the 29th minute of play forced Taza's goalkeeper Salem Bouden to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Udad Kouha's late challenge caught a Taza's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Udad Kouha helped the player get up and apologised. Udad Kouha kicked well hit freekick during the 35th minute of the match. Azrou's Aderbal El Assas got a good chance for a goal in the 38th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Safi Kolna Mgharba's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Meddur Kolna Mgharba firmly grabbed it by the left post. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Rachad Soauri kicked well hit freekick during the 51st minute of the match. 53 minutes into the match, Yugerten Tahiri dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Salem Bouden, 0-1. Meddur Kolna Mgharba took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Safi Kolna Mgharba, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Taza booed when Azrou was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Yugerten Tahiri didn't get a good kick on the ball. 62 minutes into the match, Taza's goal looked a bit too open when Yugerten Tahiri came free, but Salem Bouden reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Yugerten Tahiri recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 66th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Azrou's Udad Kouha got his second yellow card of the match in the 69th minute. The referee ordered Udad Kouha off the ground. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Rachad Soauri in the 72nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Meddur Kolna Mgharba saved Azrou from getting behind. 78 minutes into the match, Azrou's goal looked a bit too open when Safi Kolna Mgharba came free, but Meddur Kolna Mgharba reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 80th minute, Yugerten Tahiri 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. When Aderbal El Assas came up free with the goalie in the 81st minute, the Azrou 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 Aderbal El Assas couldn't finish the play. After having played for 84 minutes, Aderbal El Assas managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Azrou's supporters crossed their fingers, but Aderbal El Assas was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 88th minute, Safi Kolna Mgharba managed to get in a good position for a shot. Taza's supporters rose to their feet, but Safi Kolna Mgharba was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Meddur Kolna Mgharba breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Aderbal El Assas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Salem Bouden tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Rachad Soauri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Azrou booed when Taza was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 96 match minutes in a wonderful position. Anir Abdelghani didn't get a good kick on the ball.
