Raja Club Athletic continued their push for the Botola Pro title with a professional 2‑0 victory away at Olympique de Safi. The Green Eagles dominated proceedings and took their chances clinically, leaving the hosts frustrated in front of their own supporters.
Match Overview
Playing under the lights at Stade El Massira, Raja looked the more threatening side from the outset. Their midfield trio controlled possession, while the defence stood firm against sporadic Safi counter‑attacks. Two well‑taken goals in the second half sealed another three points for Raja, who now sit second in the league table.
Key Moments
- 54' – Goal (0-1): Raja's winger cut inside from the right and curled a beautiful shot into the far corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. A moment of individual brilliance.
- 78' – Goal (0-2): A quick counter‑attack caught Safi off guard. Raja's striker latched onto a through ball and slotted calmly under the advancing keeper.
Tactical Story
Olympique de Safi tried to be compact and break quickly, but Raja's high press and effective wing play marginalised their efforts. Raja's 4‑3‑3 shifted to a 4‑5‑1 in defence, making it difficult for Safi to find space in the final third. The visitors' second goal came from a textbook transition, a clear indication of their tactical discipline.
Standout Player: Raja's No. 10
The creative hub of the team. He orchestrated attacks, drew fouls, and provided the assist for the opening goal. His vision and passing range were key to breaking down a stubborn defence.
