The championship postpones the decision to the final round.
Yesterday, Thursday, the 29th round of the professional football league took place, bringing with it relative changes at the top of the standings, while the excitement increased at the bottom of the table, where several teams find themselves threatened with playing relegation matches leading to the second division with only one round remaining in the league.
In the most notable results of the round, Maghreb Fes missed the opportunity to officially secure the title after settling for a goalless draw against Kawkab Marrakech, thus failing to take advantage of the loss of their rival, Royal Army, against Meknes Club by three goals to two.
Renaissance Berkane also revived its hopes of winning the title after defeating Wydad Casablanca by two goals to nil, continuing Wydad's streak of negative results with their sixth consecutive defeat.
As for Raja Casablanca, they maintained a glimmer of hope for the title after achieving victory over their guest Hassania Agadir with a clean two-goal score, thus finding "Ghazala Sous" threatened with repeating last season's scenario and playing the relegation match again, especially if they fail to win in the upcoming round.
The positive draw in the match between Olympique Safi and Olympique Dcheira confirmed the relegation of the Safi team to the second division officially, while Olympique Dcheira is considered one of the teams threatened with direct relegation or playing the relegation match, and their survival depends on winning the last round and waiting for Hassania Agadir or Renaissance Zemamra to falter.
In the context of the bottom of the standings, Ittihad Tawraka achieved a valuable victory over Ittihad Tangier with a clean goal, thus ensuring that the Tawraka team plays the relegation match, while still being threatened with direct relegation, as they are only one point away from their neighbor Ittihad Sport Yaakoub Al-Mansour, who settled for a positive draw against their guest Hassania Jadida with two goals in each net.
Renaissance Zemamra also remains among the list of teams threatened with playing the relegation match, as they settled for a draw of one goal each against Fath Rabat.
In light of these results, the final round is expected to reveal the identity of the title holder, as well as the team relegated to the second division, and also those that will play the relegation matches against the teams in third and fourth place in the second division.
The upcoming round will carry crucial matches for most teams, as the leader Maghreb Fes will host Olympique Dcheira in a match where victory is essential for both sides, while Royal Army will face Renaissance Zemamra, and Renaissance Berkane will meet Hassania Jadida.
