Khouribga Stade
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mennad Kachloul made the kick off which started today's match. 5 minutes into the match, Khouribga Maghreb's goal looked a bit too open when Adil Taouni came free, but Rida Regragui reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to Khouribga Maghreb getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Azizi Jaafari hit a great ball. If Adil Taouni had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 11th minute, one of Khouribga Maghreb:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Khouribga Maghreb. In the 18th minute, Oujda Stade's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Azizi Jaafari fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Aghilas Hermach recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 25th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Magher Oulhaj sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Usaden Agazou's late challenge caught a Khouribga Maghreb's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Usaden Agazou helped the player get up and apologised. After 29 played minutes Oujda Stade got a freekick which was hit by Usaden Agazou. Rida Regragui made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Adil Taouni in the 32nd minute of play. The supporters of Khouribga Maghreb booed when Oujda Stade was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 36 match minutes in a wonderful position. Aghilas Hermach didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 46th minute, Aghilas Hermach ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Rida Regragui was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Magher Oulhaj made a kick off. Atrar Nouhass showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Azizi Jaafari, who was totally free with the ball in the 54th minute. Magher Oulhaj received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Rida Regragui tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Adil Taouni got free with Rida Regragui in the 65th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 73 minutes into the match, Adil Taouni had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rida Regragui. Khouribga Maghreb's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Adil Taouni was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Murad Chamakh during the 76th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Khouribga Maghreb booed when Oujda Stade was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Murad Chamakh didn't get a good kick on the ball. Faouzi Amazigh hit a great freekick 79 minutes into the match. 80 minutes into the match, Oujda Stade's Abdelmajid Ammi broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Adil Taouni's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 83rdth minute, Rida Regragui skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Magher Oulhaj in the 84th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Rida Regragui prevented the ball from getting in the gole.
