In a close-knit and fierce competition, Ittihad Tanger managed to secure a victory with a 2-1 scoreline against RS Berkane in the Botola 1 league match. The home team's triangular mode of play and consistency in defence and offence played a crucial role in their win.

In the first half, RS Berkane took an early lead at 07:12, showcasing their fast-paced attack. However, their lead did not carry through the entire match. The first-half was conducted in a disciplined manner with no bookings registered.

The second half was a turning point. Ittihad Tanger equalized the score at 70:16 and then took a decisive lead at 90:33, demonstrating their perseverance and firm strategic execution. Both the goals in the second half by the home team signify their superior control and handling of the ball during the end moments.

However, it was a game full of warnings, especially for RS Berkane, who received two yellow cards in the second half at 48:30 & 90:05. The home team also received one at 76:01. This increased aggression resulted in more fouls: 7 by Ittihad Tanger and 6 by RS Berkane.

In terms of set pieces, Ittihad Tanger displayed a good hand with 7 corner kicks compared to Berkane's 4. These corner kicks could have potentially contributed to the home team's goals in the second half. Both teams were caught offside once which limited the opportunities for more goals.

Overall, the match was underscored by Ittihad Tanger's comeback, RS Berkane's inability to consolidate their early lead, the increased aggression leading to yellow cards, fouls and Ittihad's superior execution of corner kicks. The lack of red cards shows the balanced aggression in the match.

To conclude, Ittihad Tanger's victorious outcome can be attributed to their late push in the match and their ability to exploit set pieces optimally. For RS Berkane, however, their inability to extend their dominance beyond the early goal and high fouls earning them yellow cards were some elements that potentially affected their game negatively.
