Raja Club Athletic wins away at Olympic Safi in Botola Pro

Olympic Safi hosted Raja Club Athletic on a sweltering July afternoon in what proved to be a one-sided affair. The home side started with intent but found themselves up against a Raja side that looked composed and dangerous from the outset. The atmosphere was tense but the visitors quickly settled into a rhythm that would define the contest.

Raja broke the deadlock just before the interval when A. Khafifi struck in the 38th minute to put his team ahead. Olympic Safi had offered little in attack up to that point, and Khafifi's goal gave Raja complete control as they headed into halftime. The away side had controlled possession for large spells and their lead felt deserved as they sought to build on their first-half dominance.

The second half saw Raja simply manage the game with clinical efficiency. I. Khafi doubled the visitors' advantage in the 64th minute, putting the contest beyond doubt and leaving Olympic Safi with no realistic path back into the match. By that stage, the home team had offered scant resistance in either half. A. Khammas picked up a yellow card late on as Raja saw out the final stages without breaking sweat.

The 0-2 scoreline reflected Raja's superiority across both halves. They left Safi with three points in the bag and another convincing away performance under their belt. For the home side, this was a disappointing afternoon that raised questions about their ability to compete at this level, while Raja's efficiency in front of goal and defensive solidity made them look like genuine contenders in this season's Botola Pro.
