Olympique Safi
Olympique Safi set up in a 4-1-3-2 formation, looking to stay compact and hit Wydad AC on the break. Their midfield worked tirelessly, but they struggled to create clear-cut chances against a well-drilled home defense. After conceding in the 65th minute, Safi pushed forward and showed urgency, but their efforts were ultimately in vain as Wydad held firm. Despite a spirited performance and solid defensive work for much of the match, Olympique Safi lacked the attacking spark needed to turn possession into goals.

Tactical Analysis
Wydad AC's 4-2-3-1 provided a solid base, with the double pivot shielding the back four and allowing creative players like Hakim Ziyech and Ramiro Vaca to influence play further up the pitch. The structure allowed them to control transitions and maintain defensive stability, especially after taking the lead. Their tactical discipline was evident in their ability to close spaces and limit Olympique Safi's attacking options. Olympique Safi's 4-1-3-2 looked to crowd the midfield and provide numbers in central areas, but they struggled to stretch Wydad's defense or create overloads out wide. After falling behind, Safi made attacking adjustments but were unable to break down a resolute Wydad side, whose game management and tactical awareness saw them through.

The 65th-minute goal by Wissam Ben Yedder, which broke the deadlock and forced Olympique Safi to chase the game.
