The last day of the first leg of the Bottle Pro You D1 redistributed the cards at the top level, with a strong comeback from the big names, who still have one game less due to their participation in the African Interclub Cups.
Untouchable at the top of the table since the start of the 2024-25 season, the Renaissance of Berkane managed another clean sheet on Sunday, winning against the Maghreb of Fez (third until Sunday). The Orientals were still able to count on their captain Issoufou Dayo, who successfully converted a penalty in the 45th minute. Youssef Mehri then secured the result in the 53rd minute, allowing the Berkane Renaissance to celebrate their tenth victory of the season (against 3 draws and only one defeat). In its last nine appearances, the Oriental club has managed eight victories and one draw, thanks in particular to its impenetrable defensive line, which has only conceded 6 goals in 14 matches. The consistency of the protégés of Tunisian coach Mouïne Chaâbani therefore allows them to consolidate their place at the top, now nine points ahead of their direct pursuer, theAS FARwho fought to win against the Hassania of Agadir Sunday (2-1).
