Kawkab Marrakech and COD Meknès maintain their rhythm at the top
Kawkab Marrakech and COD Meknès continue to assert their absolute dominance at the top of the Botola Pro 'Inwi' for the first division of football, following the matches of the seventh round that saw a significant leap for Raja Club to third place, intensifying the competition among the chasing pack.
Kawkab Marrakech (the leaders) have strengthened their position at the top of the table, raising their tally to 16 points after achieving a valuable victory by two goals to one against Wydad Casablanca. In the same context, COD Meknès has seized second place in the standings with 14 points, following their return with three precious points from the home of Moghreb Atlético Tétouan with a clean goal.
Raja Club have benefited significantly from this round; after their important victory last Wednesday against AS FAR Rabat (2-1) in a postponed match from the first round, the "Eagles" confirmed their resurgence with a deserved win on Sunday evening against Ittihad Tanger, scoring two goals without reply, which propelled them directly to third place with 12 points.
Behind the top three, strong clubs are positioned in the upper ranks with 11 points, in fourth place: AS FAR Rabat (after their 3-1 victory over Difaâ El Jadida, with a postponed match still to play), in fifth place: Wydad Casablanca, and in sixth place: MAS Fes (after defeating Al-Fath SC 1-0). In seventh place: Wydad Temara (10 points) after drawing away against Renaissance Zemamra, in eighth place: Ittihad Tanger (10 points) dropping after their recent loss to Raja Club, and in ninth place: Hassania dAgadir (9 points) after their positive draw against RS Berkane (2-2).
In the lower half of the standings, four clubs are tied with 8 points: RS Berkane, Fath Union Sport, Difaâ El Jadida, and Union Touarga Sportif.
In the danger zone and at the bottom of the table, Ittihad Amel Tiznit is positioned in 14th place with 7 points, followed by Moghreb Atlético Tétouan in 15th place with 3 points, while Renaissance Zemamra sits at the bottom of the table in 16th and last place with 2 points despite their recent draw.
With these results, the top two confirm their seriousness in the competition, while the close points in the chasing pack warn of more excitement and thrill in the upcoming rounds.
