The Wydad coach pointed out that the preparations for the match went well, and the players entered the confrontation with great determination to achieve victory, but small details determined the result, emphasizing that football does not always grant what is planned.

Bencherifa also stressed that such matches are often decided by simple details, especially when it comes to capitalizing on available opportunities, confirming that failing to convert attempts into goals can cost the team dearly.

The Al-Fath coach added that his team could have finished the match with a larger score, after missing several clear scoring opportunities, but he expressed satisfaction with the overall performance and the way the players managed the course of the match.

Chiba pointed out that the most important thing for him was achieving the primary goal, which was to collect the three points, despite the pressure exerted by Wydad during the second half and their attempts to come back in the score.

The Al-Fath SC coach concluded his statement by emphasizing the importance of this victory in boosting the players' confidence and continuing the journey with the same ambition in the upcoming matches.
