Raja Casablanca Stages Dramatic Comeback to Advance in Mohammed VI Cup

24 November 2019 – byBladi.net · 1 min read

Raja de Casablanca qualified for the quarter-finals of the Mohammed VI Cup of Clubs on Saturday, November 23, against their eternal rival Wydad de Casablanca, after a 4-4 draw, and especially a very nice comeback.

The match on Saturday was full of twists and turns. After 45 minutes of play, WAC was almost certain to qualify for the next round by leading 4-1.

But in football, there is no winner until the final whistle. This is what Raja has proven again by scoring 3 goals in less than 15 minutes, allowing him not only to come back to the score but above all to qualify for the next round.

This "historic" comeback revives the qualification. The greens thus take advantage of the away goal rule. Wydad being the host team of this return match, obtains its ticket for the quarter-finals.
