The victory lifted RS Berkane to seven points from five matches and moved them into 12th place. Raja Casablanca, who have also played five games, remain on six points in 13th.

RS Berkane’s first four league fixtures had ended in draws against Moghreb Atletico Tetouan, Union Touarga Sportif, Renaissance Zemamra and Maghreb Fes.
