The two other matches played on Monday concerned teams engaged in the soft underbelly and in the fight to maintain. At the Moulay El Hassan stadium in Rabat, the FUS of Rabat and the Difaa Hassani from El Jadida parted with a goalless draw (0-0). A closed meeting with few clear opportunities which does not really suit the business of either team. The Fussistes remain stuck in eighth place with 29 points, while the DHJ maintains its sixth place with 31 units.
Further down in the table, the Hassania of Agadir won the Souss derby by winning against Dcheira Olympic (1-0) on the lawn of the Grand Stade d’Agadir.

However, the ranking could still evolve in a Botola Pro that is more competitive than ever.
