Welcome to todays clash between Wydad Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer and SCCM Meknès-Tafilalet. 13.455 fans have bought tickets for this exciting prospect of a game.
It's nearly go time, so we'd best give you the team news, the home side have opted to play 4-4-2, with Chaoui Al Sayed - Ahmed Loukili, Hossam Bourahli, Djaref Ibrahim, Griche Yacine - Tamer Aidouni, Boutria El-Abdy, Amar Toumi, Griche El-Shater - Saad Rouane, El Yacine Badra.
The visitors have decided upon 4-4-2, using Hussain Abdel-Ghany - Saoud Defnoun, Said Saihi, Griche Aboul Ela, Hussein Al Eissa - Besheer El-Abdy, Noureddine Hamid, Khamis Farid, Mourad Aidouni - Abdelmalek Ibrahim, Chiha Galal.

Benziane Zaid, one of the legends in the world of international refs, takes control of today's match. Hopefully the Al-Maghrib born P.E. teacher, who belongs to the Souss-Massa-Draâ association, will be able to compensate for the linesmen, who have been described in the local press as "complete muppets".

Min.3, Boutria El-Abdy has a pop, but Hussain Abdel-Ghany takes that one with ease. Min.4, Gooooool !!! scored by Chiha Galal. Chaoui Al Sayed couldnt do anything about that one, 0-1. Min.12, Boutria El-Abdy can't get away from Saoud Defnoun and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in. Min.16, Wydad Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer should have scored from Tamer Aidouni's shot over the head of Griche Aboul Ela, but Hussain Abdel-Ghany clears it with confidence. Min.29, Gooooool !!!, goal scored by SCCM Meknès-Tafilalet. Great inside pass by Chiha Galal to Abdelmalek Ibrahim, who tried to dribble past Chaoui Al Sayed inside the area but the keeper of Wydad Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer cleared it. In the clearance, very careful, Mourad Aidouni appeared and made the 0-2. Pessimism invaded the stadium terraces. The fans were totally quiet, that goal was a severe blow for them. Min.34, Amar Toumi sends a lovely pass to the feet of El Yacine Badra who races through the defence going 1-on-1 with the keeper.... beautiful goal! The referee's disallowed it; the linesman's flag was up. I don't think he got that one right, and the players agree. El Yacine Badra has lost his temper and wants to go have words with the assistant. He's having to be restrained by his team mates. You can understand his frustration. Min.39, Chiha Galal has headed that against the post after a magnificent cross by Besheer El-Abdy. Min.43, disastrous pass by Khamis Farid who tries to pick out Besheer El-Abdy, but the receiver could do nothing to control the ball. They will not create too many chances with that sort of slap dashery.

Min.45,it's the end of the first half. The teams make their way to dressing rooms. The scoreboard of this 45 minutes is 0-2. The home team had 53 %. possession of the ball.

Min.46, Wydad Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer nearly scored. El Yacine Badra ran onto a great ball from Griche El-Shater, which beat the offside trap, the keeper came rushing out and the lob was attempted, but the lob didnt succeed. Min.56, Noureddine Hamid makes the cross from the left hand side of the area, but fails to connect with his team mates. The ball is cleared off the boot of the defender, Griche Yacine. Min.57, the counterattack was led by El Yacine Badra. He tries to lob the keeper who has left his area however the ball goes just wide of the post. Min.61, Gooooool !!!, Djaref Ibrahim made a Titus Bramble-esque error there, allowing Abdelmalek Ibrahim to take the ball off him just outside the box, he then buried the ball past Chaoui Al Sayed, who lets the defender know exactly what he thinks of him. The score is now 0-3. The fans can't believe this result. Several fans were waving the symbolic white tissues... The manager should watch his head seriously. Unfortunately for them it's not the only problem... several fans are already leaving the stadium and the match isn't over yet! Min.66, Saad Rouane of Wydad Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer shoots but hits the bar. He's got a crack at the rebound all alone in front of Hussain Abdel-Ghany... how did he miss that?! Unbelievable. Min.69, great run down the left wing by Boutria El-Abdy who spots Hussein Al Eissa in acres of space and tries to pick him out, but that was just naff. Min.80, Said Saihi shot from the edge of the area, a pretty timid shot and easily gathered by Chaoui Al Sayed, who without any delay, got rid of it with a long throw towards his forwards, starting a counterattack. Min.81, the clearance by the defence was intercepted by Saad Rouane who tried to go past Griche Aboul Ela but he failed miserably and loses possession.

Min.90, and that's the end of the game here, the teams make their way off the field to the applause of the crowds. The game finished 0-3. The home team had 53 %. possession of the ball.
