Takfarinas Anis came out of the goal and Saad Benzouin tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Rachid Soulaimani took the ball and in the 9 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Takfarinas Anis.

In the 25th match minute, Tangier was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rachid Soulaimani to maneuver through the defense. 29 minutes into the match, Tangier's goal looked a bit too open when Abdelkhaliq Jilaidi came free, but Haitham Falah reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Tangier's Youssef Tamsamani got a free kick in the 30th minute. The audience was convinced that Rachid Soulaimani's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Takfarinas Anis was relentless in the 32nd minute of the game. If Rachid Soulaimani had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 40th minute, Nouh Bistara got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. When Rachid Soulaimani came up free with the goalie in the 44th minute, the Tangier fans jumped to their feet.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Rachid Soulaimani to make the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Salam Didouh in the 60th minute of play forced Tangier's goalkeeper Haitham Falah to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The referee showed Youssef Tamsamani the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 62nd minute, Youssef Tamsamani hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Youssef Tamsamani had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute.
