The MCO moved to Rabat so as not to lose and return to Oujda with one point. Jaaouani has achieved his goal.
The device and the system chosen were clear: defend with a low block, very close, compact and sliding lines and do not go beyond the median line: 0 shots on target and 0 opportunities. So was the MCO facing the FUS.
Opposite, the FUS had the ball, half of the oujdi field, the ball, circulation, transitions, attacks placed, opportunities, shots on target but without finishing. Goalkeeper Oujdi, Mehdi Meftah had something to do with it. He stopped, boxed, deflected several balls on target.
Sellami was in vain to vary his game, without result in the face of the combativeness of the Oujdis.
The FUS is thus stopped in its momentum towards the podium. The MCO reaps a valuable point in its fight for survival in the first division. He goes to 29 points and will have to play Wydad on Wednesday who need a point to secure their title.
The situation got even more complicated after RCOZ’s historic comeback against RSB: trailing 2-0 until the 84th minute, Rapide overthrew Berkane in the last 7 minutes scoring 3 goals (3-2).
This victory allows the RCOZ to move to 26 points, tied with the CAYB and 3 points from the MCO with 29.
This is to say that the 1 point of the MCO against the FUS is certainly a positive thing but not yet reassuring. Still a difficult path awaits the Oujdis. Starting next Wednesday.
