USF Fes made a strong statement in the Moroccan Super League on January 25, 2020, sweeping local rivals Maghreb Fez 3-0 in a one-sided derby. The match was played with plenty of intensity, but USF Fes proved too strong across all departments, controlling both the serve and the net throughout.

Dominant Performance

From the first whistle, USF Fes set a high tempo that Maghreb Fez struggled to match. The home side’s serving put immediate pressure on their opponents’ reception, making it difficult for Maghreb Fez to establish any attacking flow. USF Fes built comfortable leads in each set and never looked seriously threatened.

Maghreb Fez did show fighting spirit, particularly in the second set when they managed to close the gap with a few well-placed attacks. But USF Fes responded with timely blocks and strong defensive plays, quickly regaining the momentum and closing out the set without allowing a comeback.

Local Bragging Rights

The clean sweep gave USF Fes more than just two points; it secured local bragging rights in Fez. Derbies in the Super League are always fiercely contested, and winning in straight sets sends a clear message to the rest of the division. The result also helped USF Fes improve their position in the league standings.

For Maghreb Fez, the loss was a difficult pill to swallow, but they will take lessons from the match into their next fixture. Consistency in reception and a sharper first-ball attack will be priorities after being outplayed in this feisty derby.
