After a rather tough play, Xallies's Yacoub Maaroufi got a free kick in the 16th minute.

After 29 minutes of play, Xallies's Sadid Bourkadi made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Xallies's players were relieved. 46 minutes into the game, Ayur El Khalej was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Marwan Tahiri was the one to do the kick off. If Daoud Jilaidi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When Afa Rwina fell near the penalty area in the 62nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Betis Casablanca's protests and gave Afa Rwina a yellow card for diving instead. In the 63rd minute, Afa Rwina hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Daoud Jilaidi struck a weak shot in the 74th minute. Youssef Sarraj didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Betis Casablanca.

The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Xallies eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
