Yacoub El Mansour — Chabab Mohammédia: 2:0, Botola 2

Yakoub El Mansour kept clean sheets from the opening whistle against Shabab Mohammédia in the first match of Botola 2's regular season. The home side won 2:0 on Saturday evening. No goalscorers were recorded in the data provided.

Shabab drew the yellow cards instead. Four of them came before the final whistle, while Yakoub's players stayed on the pitch without a booking. To be fair, the away side had no corners to speak of either.

The table tells a different story. Both sides sit at zero points after zero games — the standings haven't shifted yet. What matters is how Yakoub used their four corners to build pressure.

This result ends whatever run Shabab had from last season. They lost 4:3 to KAC Kénitra in July, then picked up nothing in their last five outings. Yakoub came off a 1:3 defeat to Ittihad Tanger.

A fresh start for both, but only one side took something from it.
