Morocco Botola 2 | 9 May 2026

Chabab Atlas Khenifra snatched a vital away win on Saturday, defeating Jeunesse Sportive Soualem 1–0 in a tightly contested Botola 2 encounter. A solitary second-half goal proved enough to separate the sides at the Stade Municipal de Soualem.

Match Overview

The first half was a tense affair, with both teams struggling to impose themselves. Jeunesse Sportive Soualem enjoyed the majority of possession but failed to break down a well-organised Khenifra defence. The hosts’ best chance came in the 34th minute when striker Youssef El Amrani headed just wide from a corner.

Chabab Atlas Khenifra grew into the game after the break, and the breakthrough arrived in the 67th minute. A swift counter-attack saw winger Hamza Oualid drive into the box and square the ball for Mehdi Benali, who slotted home from close range. Soualem pushed for an equaliser but lacked precision in the final third.

In stoppage time, Soualem had a golden opportunity to level when a penalty was awarded for a handball. However, Khenifra’s goalkeeper Anas Tawfik made a brilliant save to preserve the clean sheet and secure all three points.
