Round 22 ignites the battle for the championship lead.
The curtain fell yesterday on the 22nd round of the professional league "Inwi" in its first division, recording important results that clarified the situation of several teams in the ranking board, whether it was related to the title race or the fierce competition to escape from the bottom of the table.
In the most notable result of this round, Nahdat Berkane returned with a valuable victory of one goal to none from the Mohammed V sports complex against the home team, Raja Casablanca, which failed to maintain its lead after losing at home. Meanwhile, the Berkane team is one of the main beneficiaries of this round, as it succeeded in climbing the ranking table to occupy the third position, reducing the gap with the leader to just one point.
The Royal Army team also did not miss the opportunity to host its rival, Hassania Agadir, winning with a score of two goals to one, thus allowing the "soldiers" to seize the top of the ranking table with the same points as Maghreb Fez, which also returned to the path of positive results with a victory over Olympique Safi by two goals to one, deepening the wounds of the "Safi shark" that is at the bottom of the table.
For its part, Ittihad Tangier continued its positive results since the appointment of its coach Abdelhak Benchikha, this time against its guest, Wydad Casablanca, which failed to capitalize on its lead in the match, losing by two goals to one against "the knight of the bay."
In another match, Hassania Agadir continued to bleed points, settling for a goalless draw at Adrar Stadium against its guest, Fath Rabat, which was the same result that concluded the match between Kawkab Marrakech and Ittihad Tawraka.
Olympique Dcheira also continued its negative results with a defeat at the hands of the Meknes club by two goals to one, while Nahdat Zemamra won by the same score against its guest, Ittihad Yacoub Al-Mansour.
With the end of a new round of this season's championship, the outlines are becoming relatively clear, both at the top of the ranking and at the bottom of the table. With 8 rounds remaining, the competition intensifies, and the margin for error for the teams shrinks, especially in light of the fierce and exceptional competition that the Moroccan league is experiencing this season.
