Figuig Stade Olympiq
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Yuften Farass made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute, Marrakech's Bahja Rhanem seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Bahja Rhanem the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Marrakech protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Bahja Rhanem had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Aderfi Bouhaja shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar. No goal. 7 minutes into the game, Rouchd Kolna Mgharba was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Figuig Stade's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Marrakech the free kick. The audience was convinced that Winitran Sarraj's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Nouh Zaza was relentless in the 10th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Afalkay El Guarrouj in the 14th minute of play forced Figuig Stade's goalkeeper Nasri Bagui to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Munsif Chkilits short, quick shot in the 18thth minute got Nouh Zaza to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Munsif Chkilit fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nouh Zaza having to interfere. When Figuig Stade's Winitran Sarraj in 28 game minutes managed to cut through with the ball in front of the goal, only having to shoot. Nouh Zaza guarding the goal like a pit bull was extremely focused and managed to reach the ball just by the crossbar before it went in. When Winitran Sarraj came up free with the goalie in the 30th minute, the Figuig Stade 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 Winitran Sarraj couldn't finish the play. Nouh Zaza made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Winitran Sarraj in the 34th minute of play. 45 minutes into the match, Marrakech's goalkeeper Nouh Zaza had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Munsif Chkilit. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

In the 55th minute, Fayssal Khayri hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 62nd minute, Munsif Chkilit 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 Figuig Stade's Winitran Sarraj in the 63rd minute got a chance for a shot 63rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Marrakech's goalie prevented a goal. Nouh Zaza showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Winitran Sarraj in the 66th minute of the match.

Fayssal Khayri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
