Match Overview

Kenitra started strongly, pressing Tetouan from the first whistle. Their high energy was rewarded with an early goal, as a left‑wing cross was turned in at the near post.

Tactical Story

The match was a tale of two halves in terms of control. Kenitra dominated possession in the first 45 minutes but became more direct after scoring the penalty. Tetouan adapted by pushing their full‑backs higher and playing quicker vertical passes, which paid off with the late equaliser. The game was open for long stretches, and both managers will feel their sides could have won it.

Standout Performers

Kenitra’s left winger was a constant menace, causing problems with his dribbling and delivering the cross for the opening goal. Tetouan’s goalscoring midfielder was the hero for the visitors, his tireless running and powerful finishing earning his team a point. The two goalkeepers were kept busy – Kenitra’s shot‑stopper made three fine saves, while Tetouan’s denied a one‑on‑one in the first half.

The draw keeps KAC de Kenitra in 11th place with 37 points, while Maghrib Association Tetouan rise to 12th with 36 points. Both teams remain safe from relegation but will need to collect more points to secure their status for next season.
