Today's ref is Emad Saihi, who was born in Al-Maghrib and belongs to the association of Doukkala-Abda. He is known to be firm but fair, and he will take no nonsense from the players or managers. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few cards given out in today's match.

Min.6, shot by Abdelaziz Dembri that beat Yasser Samir who was unsighted with the melee of players in front of him, fortunately the post has saved him on this occasion. Min.7, Ziane Abdel has got some magic feet and shows us all his trickery to get into a great position in the box, unfortunately for him, he's a complete donkey and tripped over his twinkle toes and face planted the ball, which proceeds to roll out harmlessly for a goal kick. Min.12, Wisam Al Owairan is desperate for movement from his colleagues, but none comes so he shot towards the goal from outside the area. Easily gathered by Salim Al Saqri. Min.22, Karim Al Mosailem has headed over from 4 yards out, after a pin point cross from Ziane Abdel. Wasted opportunity. Min.35 That was a wasted chance by Miloud Lemouadaa... 1-on-1 with Salim Al Saqri and 5 yards from goal, and he's put it right into the stands where the AS Taounate fans are sitting... you can hear the donkey brays ringing from around the stadium! Min.37, Karim Al Mosailem is unable to get past Wisam Al Owairan who steals the ball with a great challenge.Karim Al Mosailem must have been watching too much boring football lately, he's complaining to the ref about a perfectly legal tackle. Min.41, Karim Sylla spots Miloud Lemouadaa breaking free from his marker, but his attempted pass into the space in front is easily intercepted by the defence.

Min.45, the refs blown up for half time before the allocated injury time has been played and now he's sprinting off down the tunnel, guess he's been caught short. The current score is 0-0. The home team had 56 %. possession of the ball.

Min.53, AS Taounate had two clear cut chances in attack but Yasser Samir kept them both out. Abdelaziz Dembri then had a third chance at scoring, but a last ditch challenge made sure that he didnt. I dont know why, but Abdelaziz Dembri is complaining that he didnt get a penalty for that. Min.58, Possession is all very well but you have to make it count, and Hossam Aboutrika needs to make the pass. Now he plays the ball into the midfield, but the pass is too soft and poorly aimed. The rival defence intercept the ball without any problems. Poor; very poor. Min.76, Khamis Iajour crosses for Salim Al Montashari, his marker Abdelhak Rouane trips over and after some grappling, both players end up in a mess on the floor, they want a penalty but they're not getting it. Min.79, Korichi Amine spots Abdelaziz Dembri breaking free from his marker, but his attempted pass into the space in front is easily intercepted by the defence. Min.81, Miloud Lemouadaa has scored a great header, after a cross from Karim Amrane. Would you believe it, it's been disallowed for shirt pulling. Min.89, Hossam Aboutrika can't get away from Nader Amrane and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in.

Min.90, The whistle has been blown, ending the game at 0-0. The home team had 56 %. possession of the ball.

After the alloted 90 minutes we still have a draw here, so the match goes to extra-time with two halves of 15 minutes.

Min.93, Abdelhak Rouane is desperate for movement from his colleagues, but none comes so he shot towards the goal from outside the area. Easily gathered by Yasser Samir. Min.95, Karim Sylla shoots from distance, but it will take something special to beat Salim Al Saqri who gathers it with ease. Min.99, Gooooool !!!, Tayeb Abdel-Ghany sent a good through ball into the path of Ziane Abdel who instantly fires past the keeper. Now the score is 1-0. The stadium can't stop clapping and cheering Ziane Abdel due to the fantastic goal that opens the scoreboard

Min.105, It's the end of the first halfof the extra-time here. The players are clearly tired now, with both teams getting sloppy they have to be careful not to give away a stupid penalty. As the players return to the pitch for a final effort, the score stands at 1-0.

Min.109, 'deviated kick of Abdelaziz Dembri, in a play which started by a great cross from the right side of Karim Al Mosailem and a wonderful head pass of Korichi Amine right in front of an open goal. He failed ,miserably.'My blind 74-year old grandma would've even scored that'. Min.119, Salim Al Montashari of Raja Taza shoots but hits the bar. He's got a crack at the rebound all alone in front of Salim Al Saqri... how did he miss that?! Unbelievable.

Min.120, there's the full time whistle and the game has finished 1-0.


The final score of this cup final between AS Taounate - Raja Taza is 1-0, congratulations to AS Taounate, who pass to the next round of his country Cup.
