Botola Pro 1: AS FAR go top despite frustrating draw in Marrakech

AS FAR edged their way to the top of the Botola Pro 1 table on Sunday night, though their rise came without celebration after a goalless encounter against Kawkab Marrakech at the Grand Stade de Marrakech.

In a fixture that had been rescheduled from Round 11, both sides approached the contest with caution, resulting in a game that never truly found attacking rhythm. Clear-cut chances were scarce, as defensive discipline took centre stage and neither team managed to carve out a decisive moment in front of goal.

AS FAR attempted to impose themselves, enjoying spells of control and probing for openings, but were repeatedly met by a well-organised Kawkab side that remained compact and difficult to break down.

The hosts, for their part, showed resilience throughout, ensuring they left the pitch with a deserved share of the spoils.

While the performance may not have been spectacular, the outcome carries significant weight for the capital club.

The single point lifts AS FAR to 30 points, enough to move them above Raja Club Athletic into first place on goal difference, despite both sides being level on points.

Kawkab Marrakech, meanwhile, continue to hold steady in mid-table. The result leaves them ninth with 16 points as they look to build momentum in the weeks ahead.
