The referee in charge of tonight's game is Saud Guermech, who was born in Al-Maghrib and belongs to the college of Fès-Boulemane. He is a referee in the style of Pierluigi Collina, who does not tolerate foul play, and will not allow player's disputing his decisions or throwing their toys out of the pram!

Min.3, Samir Yacine sold Fouzi Al Mohammedi a kipper, but the defenceman was not happy and he ended up almost yanking the t-shirt off his back, because he was not able to stop him. The referee gave the foul. Min.4, Tarek Badra hit that free kick far too deep and its bounced away for a goal kick. Min.8, horribly mistimed challenge by Redouane Hazzazi on Amr Jahdali. Obviously a freekick, but the ref doesnt seem to want to give it. Amr Jahdali is wanting to know how that doesnt warrant a yellow, poor reffing. The ref is taking no bull today and Amr Jahdali is booked for complaining. Yellow card for Redouane Hazzazi, he knew what he was doing there and it worked. He doesn't mind taking one for the team. Min.9, Tarek Badra shot in a very wayward manner sending the ball to row z. Min.19, Samir Yacine sees space on the byline and he runs into it and crosses towards the head of Tarek Badra. However, Ahmed Al Khaibari decided he fancied doing his job and cleared it with an assured header. Tarek Badra, is holding his side on the ground and complaining bitterly about Ahmed Al Khaibari's elbow to his ribs at the same time, what a talent he has there...get up you nancy. The ref is taking no bull today and Tarek Badra is booked for complaining. Min.27, Mammar Al Fazani has a pop, but Magdy Benzerga takes that one with ease. Min.31, It seems that Amr Jahdali has some physical problem, he is lying down on the pitch. Maybe it isn't physical at all, he could just be a bit tired or like the smell of grass. Nope, no, i was wrong, it is a physical problem, the physio has confirmed that he is in fact, hurt. Min.32 Amr Jahdali has gone down injured, but it looks like he will run it off. Min.34, Slimane Al Aboud got the ball with a bit of luck and he tried to make wall pass with Ait Raho. But Hamza Al Shehri cleverly hacks him down to stop the move. Ait Raho isn't happy and is complaining to the referee, asking for a yellow card. The ref is taking no bull today and Ait Raho is booked for complaining. Min.35, SCCM Al Haouz came very close to scoring. It was a dipping freekickby Ait Raho but it didnt quite do enough and hit the bar after beating Magdy Benzerga and his despairing dive. Min.37, Possession is all very well but you have to make it count, and Ziane El-Abdy 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.44, Kerghel Zenga can't get away from Aziz El-Safti and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in.

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 55 %. possession of the ball.

Min.47, Gooooool !!!, Mammar Al Fazani sent a good through ball into the path of Ait Raho who instantly fires past the keeper. Now the score is 0-1. You can hear a pin drop in this stadium after the away team opened the score board. Have the home fans had cold water poured over their heads? Even the hooligans are quiet now, amazing! Min.49, Chiha Beghalia loses the ball to Haitham Magdy who takes advantage of the situation and charges down the field in opening up a scoring opportunity. Oh and he's wasted what could have been a real chance there. Min.50, the clearance by the defence was intercepted by Amr Jahdali who tried to go past Ahmed Al Khaibari but he failed miserably and loses possession. Min.53, Possession is all very well but you have to make it count, and Ziane El-Abdy 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.55, Gooooool !!!, Kerghel Al Thagafi sent a long ball towards Amr Jahdali whose first touch takes him away from the defender and a beautiful finish past Marzouq Dembri completes that basic route one move. So simple, yet so effective! The scoreboard is now 1-1. This match has not a winner yet and everything can stll happen Min.60, Redouane Hazzazi has gone down, with pain written all over his face. Min.61, Redouane Hazzazi is up and running again after a bit of help from the magic sponge. No sub needed here. Min.76, Kerghel Al Thagafi sent a long ball towards Amr Jahdali however Marzouq Dembri decides to come from his area and calmly hoof it back up the field. Min.81,'the defence of Raja Inezgane-Aït Melloul has cut the long ball towards the right touchline of SCCM Al Haouz, Milenko Chkilit fought like a young wild boar but he could not leave with the ball.' Thanks for that Manuel. Min.87, shot by Abderrahim Nadir that beat Marzouq Dembri who was unsighted with the melee of players in front of him, fortunately the post has saved him on this occasion.

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 1-1. The home team had 55 %. 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, Mammar Al Fazani has a pop, but Magdy Benzerga takes that one with ease. Min.95, huge play of Samir Yacine from the right side which finishes with a 'death' back pass, but Ahmed Al Khaibari very watchful cuts down the pass in the small area when it looked like it would be a shouted goal. Incredible play of Samir Yacine, who did all well but his pass didn't find a striker.

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 1-1.

Min.107, Gooooool !!!, goal scored by Raja Inezgane-Aït Melloul. Great inside pass by Tarek Badra to Amr Jahdali, who tried to dribble past Marzouq Dembri inside the area but the keeper of SCCM Al Haouz cleared it. In the clearance, very careful, Abderrahim Nadir appeared and made the 2-1. Smiles returned on the faces of the fans. The goal has calmed down nervous fans. The dollar signs in the sponsor's eyes are back too... Min.112, Samir Yacine makes a good run in from the right touchline, before going 1-on-1 with Ahmed Al Khaibari, who eventually wins the ball and clears it away. Min.115, Mammar Al Fazani drove the ball without problems in the midfield but upon arriving at his intended destination, his brakes failed and he suffered a nasty crash with the pain train, otherwise known as, Osama Hamid and the referee gave the foul. Osama Hamid has been giving his marching orders, his manager will not be happy. Min.116, Ait Raho hit that free kick far too deep and its bounced away for a goal kick.

Min.120, there's the full time whistle and the game has finished 2-1.
