FAR Rabat’s 2-1 defeat to Raja Casablanca was a tale of inefficiency, with the hosts dominating possession (71%) and creating significantly more chances (19 total shots, 13 corners) but failing to convert. Despite their overwhelming control, FAR Rabat managed just 0.8 xG, highlighting their struggle to create high-quality opportunities. In contrast, Raja Casablanca, with just 29% possession and 4 total shots, scored twice through Ismail Khafi and Adam Ennaffati, demonstrating clinical finishing in key moments.

The game swung decisively in Raja’s favour through two quick first-half goals. Khafi opened the scoring in the 2nd minute, assisted by Ennaffati, and Ennaffati doubled the lead in the 37th minute after returning the favour. FAR Rabat pulled one back through Youssef Fahli Al in the 27th minute, but their inability to capitalise on their dominance ultimately cost them.

The decisive stat was Raja Casablanca’s conversion rate: scoring 2 goals from just 4 shots (and only 2 on target), showcasing their ruthless efficiency in a game where FAR Rabat’s possession failed to translate into meaningful results.
