Analysis The numbers behind the result
FUS Rabat edge tight contest despite Agadir's possession dominance
FUS Rabat's 1-0 victory was a fair reflection of a match where chances were scarce but their efficiency in front of goal proved decisive. Despite Hassania Agadir enjoying 53% possession, Rabat created the clearer opportunities, outshooting the visitors 9-8 and landing three shots on target to Agadir's solitary effort. The game's solitary goal came from Anas Serrhat in the 41st minute, assisted by Mohamed Bakhkhach – one of just two shots on target Rabat managed in the first half, underlining their clinical edge.
Agadir's possession advantage failed to translate into meaningful openings, managing only one shot on target throughout – a telling statistic given their territorial dominance. Rabat's defensive discipline was evident in their five corners conceded (to Agadir's one) without allowing any significant threat from set-pieces. The hosts' narrow victory was ultimately built on converting their best chance while limiting Agadir to speculative efforts from range (7 shots off target). The most decisive stat? Rabat's 3 shots on target to Agadir's 1 – when chances were this scarce, that minimal superiority made all the difference.
