Naoufal Bendriss showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Agerzam El Bassel in the 23rd minute of the match. When Uksintas El Ghrib fell near the penalty area in the 26th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Azrou Wafa's protests and gave Uksintas El Ghrib a yellow card for diving instead. Uksintas El Ghrib hit a great freekick 26 minutes into the match. If Aksim Aissati had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
