The volcano takes the lead and Al-Raja stumbles.
The matches of the 23rd round of the professional championship "Inwi" in its first division took place last Monday and Tuesday, bringing changes at the top of the standings, while not much changed at the bottom of the table, as most teams continued their negative results and are more threatened than ever with relegation to the second division.
In the most notable results of this round, the RS Berkane team managed to achieve the most important victory against its guest, Ittihad Tangier, with a single goal, a result that allowed the orange team to seize the top spot, thus beginning its title defense campaign. The "Berkani" team took advantage of the goalless draw that decided the week's clash between Wydad Fes and the Royal Army, causing both to lose the top position in favor of the defending champion from last season.
In the context of the results of the leading teams, Raja Casablanca continued its series of negative results, suffering another defeat, this time at the home of its host, Kawkab Marrakech, with a score of two goals to none. This defeat confirms the imminent departure of coach Fadlou from the technical staff of the "Eagles."
On the other hand, Wydad Casablanca took advantage of its rival Raja's setback to seize the fourth position after winning against its guest, Olympique Safi, with a goal to nil. While this result allowed coach Mohamed Benchrifa's squad to climb the standings, it deepened the situation of Olympique Safi, who is at the bottom of the league and is getting closer to bidding farewell to the top division.
In the context of the bottom of the standings, Ittihad Tawraka returned with a valuable victory from the field of Nahda Zemamra with a clean goal, successfully escaping from the 14th position, benefiting from Olympique Dcheira's loss to its neighbor Hassania Agadir with a clean goal, which revived the hopes of "Ghazala Sous" in securing survival in the top division.
In the remaining matches of the round, the matches between Ittihad Yaacoub Al-Mansour and the Meknes club ended in a draw with one goal for each side, while the match between Fath Rabat and Hassani Jadidi ended without goals.
Although the matches of the 23rd round did not witness a high number of goals as seen in some previous rounds, they carried significant developments that herald an expected excitement in the remaining duration of this season's championship.
