League Play-Off

Er Rachidia
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Agafay Doulyazal started the match with the kick off. Amin Ghayour received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Safwane El Baz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nadir Kasi was a little too slow when Monir Mehdi got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 5th minute. The score was now 1-0. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mahir Lohkmiri got free with Nadir Kasi in the 10th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Safwane El Baz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Agafay Doulyazal, who was totally free with the ball in the 14th minute. A well done corner resulted in Chakir Belhaj drilling the ball in to score 1-1 behind Er Rachidia Kawkab's goalkeeper. Monir Mehdi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nadir Kasi having to interfere. Nasri El Baz's late challenge caught a Safi Union Sportive's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Nasri El Baz helped the player get up and apologised. 35 minutes into the game, Mahir Lohkmiri cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-2. Nadir Kasi was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 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.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Mahir Lohkmiri to strike the kick off in the second half. Asfru Chadli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Safwane El Baz having to interfere. Monir Mehdi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nadir Kasi having to interfere. Nadir Kasi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mahir Lohkmiri, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. 67 minutes into the match, Er Rachidia Kawkab's goalkeeper Safwane El Baz had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Asfru Chadli. 69 minutes into the match, Safi Union Sportive's goal looked a bit too open when Monir Mehdi came free, but Nadir Kasi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Safi Union Sportive's Nadir Kasi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mahir Lohkmiri in the 70th minute of play. Monir Mehdi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nadir Kasi having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Safi Union Sportive's Chakir Belhaj got a free kick in the 78th minute. Mahir Lohkmiri recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 79th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Nadir Kasi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Monir Mehdi, who was totally free with the ball in the 80th minute. In the 82nd minute, Fayssal El Fatouaki hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nadir Kasi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Monir Mehdi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Monir Mehdi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Mahir Lohkmiri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Safi Union Sportive's Fayssal El Fatouaki got a free kick in the 96th minute. Mahir Lohkmiri struck a weak shot in the 97th minute. Nadir Kasi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Er Rachidia Kawkab.
