Tanger Relief as Tetouan Blast Late Penalty in 1-1 Draw

Ittihad Tanger clung on for a 1-1 draw against Moghreb Tetouan in a breathless Botola Pro encounter after Yassine Crachna’s 97th-minute penalty sailed over the bar, sparing the hosts’ blushes at the Stade Ibn Batouta.

Tetouan Strike First Through Karmoun

The visitors took control when Mohamed Karmoun lashed home from close range on 34 minutes, capitalising on chaos in the Tanger box after Driss Eddaoudi’s clever cutback. Eddaoudi’s booking three minutes later for dissent barely interrupted Tetouan’s rhythm as they went into halftime with a deserved lead.

Tanger Respond Through Najari’s Magic

Boss Amine Kheir made two immediate changes at the break, unleashing Soufiane Ahannach down the left. The gamble paid dividends when Ahannach teed up Yassine Najari’s exquisite 57th-minute equaliser, the midfielder curling first-time into the top corner from 18 yards to ignite the stadium.

Cruel Late Drama as Tetouan Fluff Their Lines

With both sides trading yellow cards in a fractious finale, Tetouan won a golden chance when Crachna was brought down in added time. The substitute stepped up himself – only to sky his penalty horribly high in the 97th minute, leaving Tanger’s bench collapsing in relief and the visitors punching the turf in anguish.

This stalemate keeps Ittihad Tanger unbeaten but questions linger over their sluggish start, while Tetouan will rue two points tossed away in dramatic fashion. Both sides now regroup for Matchday 3 knowing fine margins define seasons in Morocco’s top flight.
