In the much-anticipated Botola 1 match between Raja CA Casablanca and MCO Mouloudia Oujda on January 17th, the home team came from a goal down in the second half to grab a vital 2-1 victory. The encounter was a testament to the strong will and endurance of the Raja CA Casablanca team, who dominated the game's stats with more goals, corner kicks and fewer offsides.

Raja CA Casablanca enjoyed better possession, as evidenced by their six corner kicks compared to Mouloudia Oujda's five. This shows Raja's more offensive approach, especially in the second half of the match. Their three offside flags versus the away team's two also suggests that they constantly pushed Mouloudia's defensive line, thereby exerting consistent pressure.

However, it was Mouloudia Oujda who started with an advantage by scoring early in the second half, at around 53 minutes. Despite this setback, Raja showed determination and resilience by pulling level eight minutes later, at the 62-minute mark and then took the lead in the 69th minute. The rapid back-to-back goals signaled a shift in momentum for Raja.

The disciplinary aspect of the game was decidedly less balanced. Raja accrued an eye-catching five yellow cards, reflecting a more aggressive approach. The concentrated period in the second half when three cards were issued - two to Raja (52nd and 63rd minute) and one to Mouloudia (59th minute) - likely created disruptions in the flow of the game, something which could have indirectly contributed to Raja's quickfire goals.

Despite the numerous fouls attributed to Raja, none led to a sending off, allowing them to maintain their playing numbers and secure the victory. For Mouloudia, receiving three yellow cards indicates they were also involved in rough play, but evidently, it didn't offer them any advantage.

In summary, Raja CA Casablanca capitalized on their home ground advantage and an aggressive, positive approach that led to more opportunities, despite the numerous yellow cards. These aspects played a significant role in turning the game around from being a goal down. On the other hand, Mouloudia Oujda's less assertive play signaled by fewer corner kicks and offsides, and their inability to manage their lead points towards a lack of effective game management.
