FUS Rabat secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Renaissance de Berkane in a tightly contested Botola Pro fixture on June 29, 2026. The match at the Stade Moulay Abdallah saw the home side come from behind to claim all three points, much to the delight of their supporters.
Match Overview
Renaissance de Berkane began the game with confidence, having built a reputation as one of the most disciplined defensive units in the league. However, FUS Rabat's attacking intent and quick passing eventually broke them down. The opening exchanges were cagey, with neither side willing to take unnecessary risks.
Key Moments
- 15' – Renaissance de Berkane took the lead. A swift move down the right flank ended with a cross that striker Mouad Hmimou turned in at the near post.
- 38' – FUS Rabat equalized. Midfielder Reda El Hajji picked up a loose ball on the edge of the box and curled a superb effort into the top corner.
- 64' – The home side completed the turnaround. Winger Zakaria El Hachimi cut inside from the left and unleashed a powerful shot that deflected past the Berkane goalkeeper.
Tactical Story
FUS Rabat dominated possession, particularly in the second half, as they pushed for the winner. Renaissance de Berkane sat deep after taking the lead, a strategy that ultimately backfired. FUS coach Mohamed Amine Benhachem introduced fresh legs in midfield, which allowed his side to retain the ball higher up the pitch and create overloads in wide areas. Berkane's counter-attacks were largely snuffed out by the home defense, marshaled by veteran center-back Anas Lamrabat.
Standout Performers
- Reda El Hajji (FUS) – Scored the equalizer and was instrumental in midfield, dictating the tempo with his passing range.
- Zakaria El Hachimi (FUS) – Constant threat on the left wing, his pace and trickery resulted in the winning goal.
- Mouad Hmimou (Berkane) – Took his goal well and worked tirelessly but lacked support from teammates.
Impact on the Table
The win moves FUS Rabat closer to the top four, keeping their continental qualification hopes alive. Renaissance de Berkane, meanwhile, will be disappointed to have let a lead slip, but they remain in mid-table, still within reach of a higher finish. The result underscores FUS Rabat's resilience at home and highlights Berkane's vulnerability when forced to chase the game.
