“Triple substitution made to exploit the numerical advantage and search for a winner”
Ittihad Tanger and Kawkab Marrakech played out a scrappy goalless draw in a match that will be remembered more for its disciplinary issues than its football quality. The contest became increasingly fractious as the first half progressed, with four yellow cards shown before the break, before reaching a turning point in the 69th minute when Hamza Fassoukh received his marching orders. Despite enjoying a numerical advantage for the final 20 minutes, neither side could find the breakthrough in what proved to be a tactically rigid encounter. The result does little to help either team's league position, with both sides remaining in mid-table mediocrity as they continue to struggle for consistency in the Botola Pro.
