In the grand spectacle of Botola 1 on 14th June 2023, DHJ Difaa Hassani Jadidi (DHJ) faced off against MCO Mouloudia Oujda (MCO) in what proved to be an exhilarating low-scoring match. Despite valiant efforts from both sides, MCO managed to secure a narrow 1-0 victory.

Ill-discipline plagued both teams in a high stakes encounter, with a game total of 7 yellow cards seen; 3 of them were given to home team DHJ whereas the away team MCO walked away with 4 yellow cards and successfully managing to avoid any red cards. The data reveals that the bulk of these bookings were distributed in the second half, which could suggest a rise in tensions as the game concluded.

Contrary to the final score, the home team managed to lay siege to the MCO goal, securing 8 corner kicks throughout the game compared to the 4 earned by MCO. However, this statistic alone is not reflective of successful offensive play if not converted into goals. However, DHJ failed to break through the staunch MCO defense, leaving the number of corner kicks simply a testament to lost opportunities.

While there was only one offside throughout the match courtesy of the away team, it seemed to have no significant impact on the final result of the match. Both teams played aggressively as evidenced by 30 fouls in total, 16 by DHJ, and 14 by MCO. This was a substantial contributor to the high number of yellow cards witnessed and also emphasises the intensely competitive nature of this match.

The deciding factor of the match came in the second half with MCO scoring a goal at approximately the 78th minute. This lone goal would prove significant in determining the outcome and underscore the importance of capitalizing on the opportunities presented.

In conclusion, despite DHJ's advantage in terms of corner kicks, their inability to convert opportunities into goals cost them the match. On the other hand, MCO demonstrated the effectiveness of a disciplined defence and showed the importance of seizing the key opportune moment for scoring. The number of fouls and yellow cards reflected a highly competitive match with a high level of intensity, leading to moments of indiscipline from both sides. Despite their discipline concerns, MCO performed under pressure, walked away with the narrowest of victories, and provided a masterclass in defensive solidity and clinical scoring.
