“H. Ferdaoussi's yellow card sparked a series of bookings as the match became increasingly physical”
“Three yellow cards in stoppage time epitomized the frustration and ill-discipline that characterized the closing stages”
Raja Casablanca
Yacoub El Mansour
Raja Casablanca were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Yacoub El Mansour in a match that never truly caught fire at the Mohamed V Stadium. The Green Eagles dominated possession but struggled to break down a well-organized El Mansour defense that sat deep and looked to frustrate their more illustrious opponents. Both managers made wholesale changes in the second half, with a flurry of substitutions around the hour mark suggesting neither side was satisfied with their approach. The match descended into a scrappy affair in the closing stages, with five yellow cards shown in the final 25 minutes as frustrations boiled over, leaving Raja to rue two dropped points in what appears to be a tight title race.
How entertaining was this match?
