KAC de Kenitra 2–0 AS Mansouria: Kenitra Bounce Back with Comfortable Home Win

KAC de Kenitra returned to winning ways in the Morocco Botola 2 with a solid 2–0 victory over AS Mansouria at the Stade Municipal de Kenitra on July 23, 2026. The result lifts Kenitra into the top half of the table and piles pressure on the struggling visitors.

Match Overview

Kenitra dominated from the outset, controlling possession and creating numerous chances. The opening goal came in the 14th minute when winger Youssef El Amrani latched onto a through ball and slotted past the advancing goalkeeper. Mansouria struggled to create meaningful attacks, with their attacking trio isolated against a well-drilled Kenitra defence.

The home side doubled their lead just before half-time. A corner was met by centre-back Mehdi Bensouda, whose powerful header gave the keeper no chance. The second half was a more subdued affair, with Kenitra managing the game professionally and Mansouria unable to mount a serious comeback.

Key Performers

• Youssef El Amrani (Kenitra) – A constant threat on the flank, scored the opener.
• Mehdi Bensouda (Kenitra) – Dominant in defence and dangerous from set pieces.
• Karim El Haddadi (Mansouria) – The only bright spark for the visitors, but lacked support.

League Implications

Kenitra climb to seventh place in the Morocco Botola 2 standings, now just three points off the promotion playoff spots. AS Mansouria drop to 15th, deep in the relegation mire. The defeat extends Mansouria’s winless run to five matches.

Kenitra coach Hassan Regragui said: “We showed character after last week’s defeat. The three points are crucial for our ambitions.”
