A Highly Anticipated Match
The match between the leading Club Africain and JS Omrane, a team that has been making waves in Ligue 1, was expected to be intense. However, from the start of the game, Club Africain dominated territorially, albeit without scoring, while JS Omrane opted for a more defensive approach.
