Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Wakil Belmahjoub took the kick off in the first half of the match. Saad Rabeh made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Amezyan El Emmani in the 5th minute of play. The crowd rose to their feet as Ghalib Bouhaja kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Saad Rabeh. That made the score 1-0 in the 8 minute of play.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Izri El Brazi prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Aylal Bakkal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Aylal Bakkal managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ifrane Renaissance's supporters rose to their feet, but Aylal Bakkal was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Izri El Brazi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Izri El Brazi came out of the goal in the 39th minute to try and stop a shot by Ifrane Renaissance's Wakil Belmahjoub. But to his dismay, Wakil Belmahjoub quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. Saad Rabeh showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Amezyan El Emmani, who was totally free with the ball in the 44th minute. Saad Rabeh came out of the goal in the 46th minute to try and stop a shot by Figuig Union Sportive's Ghalib Bouhaja. But to his dismay, Ghalib Bouhaja quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-2. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Amezyan El Emmani to make the kick off. Izri El Brazi didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 52nd minute, which inside left pole to 3-3. In the 55th minute, Amezyan El Emmani ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Saad Rabeh was frozen by the shot and now it was 4-3. 72 minutes into the match, Ifrane Renaissance's goal looked a bit too open when Ghalib Bouhaja came free, but Saad Rabeh reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Saad Rabeh took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Amezyan El Emmani, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Aylal Bakkal came up free with the goalie in the 82nd minute, the Ifrane Renaissance 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 Aylal Bakkal couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Ifrane Renaissance booed when Figuig Union Sportive was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 85 match minutes in a wonderful position. Amalu Hadda didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Figuig Union Sportive's zone, Wakil Belmahjoub stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Izri El Brazi came out of the goal and Wakil Belmahjoub tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Amezyan El Emmani had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ghalib Bouhaja in the 97th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Saad Rabeh saved Ifrane Renaissance from getting behind. Many of Ifrane Renaissance's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Ifrane Renaissance may have spent more time on the ball, but Figuig Union Sportive were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
