Match Overview

RCA Casablanca dominated from start to finish, dismantling MAT Tetouane 70–55 at home to solidify their position near the top of the Morocco D1 League standings. The victory was built on stifling defense and efficient transition offense, as the home side never trailed after the opening minutes.

How the Game Unfolded

RCA set the tone early, forcing five turnovers in the first quarter alone and converting them into easy buckets. By the end of the first period, they led 22–12. MAT Tetouane struggled to find any rhythm against RCA’s aggressive on‑ball pressure, shooting just 33% from the field in the first half.

The second quarter saw more of the same. RCA extended its lead to 40–24 at halftime, with guard Yassine El Idrissi orchestrating the offense and scoring 12 points before the break. MAT Tetouane showed brief signs of life in the third, cutting the deficit to 12 on a 6–0 run, but RCA responded with a 10–2 spurt to push the lead back to 20 points. The final quarter was academic, as RCA cruised to a 70–55 win.
