Chabab Mohammédia vs Racing de Casablanca Match Recap - Oct 26, 2025

In a tightly contested affair at Stade El Bachir, Chabab Mohammédia continued their impressive run in Botola 2 with a narrow 1-0 victory over Racing de Casablanca on October 26, 2025. With this triumph, Chabab Mohammédia solidifies their spot atop the table with 10 points from five matches, while Racing, now firmly entrenched in the relegation zone, remains mired on just two points.

From the outset, Chabab showcased the defensive prowess that has become their hallmark this season. After enduring a frustrating first half where both teams struggled to find their rhythm, it was a moment of inspiration that broke the deadlock. The decisive goal came in the 67th minute, courtesy of a well-placed strike from the talented Khalid Benhaddou. For Chabab, this goal was a product of their continuous pressure, which had been building throughout the match.

Though the hosts dominated the possession and created several chances, they were met with a resolute defensive display from Racing. However, the visitors could not capitalize on their few opportunities-a stark contrast to their opponents, who have now registered three wins in their last four outings, all by a single goal margin.

This defeat adds to the growing woes of Racing de Casablanca, who have yet to secure a win this season. Their inability to convert chances into goals has left the team struggling to find footing, underscored by their disheartening streak of two draws and two losses in the past four matches. After this latest setback, Racing remains in 15th place, grappling with the realization that their season could spiral into a full-blown crisis if a turnaround does not come soon.

As the match concluded, it was evident that Chabab's momentum was building, placing them in an assertive position moving forward. Their strong defensive strategy coupled with effective goal-scoring, exemplified by Benhaddou's performance, sets a positive tone for their next match. Conversely, Racing de Casablanca faces an urgent need to regroup and reassess. With their next fixture looming, the implications of another lackluster performance could prove dire for a team already fighting to maintain its status in the league.

Reflecting on the pre-match predictions, it seems I may have underestimated Chabab's ability to grind out these victories. While I anticipated a more emphatic scoreline of 2-0, it appears their tactical discipline has kept them right on track. Racing, however, is still searching for the spark that might ignite their season-a task that only grows more daunting as the weeks progress. With both teams on such different trajectories, the stakes are high. For Chabab, the future looks bright, while Racing must dig deep to ensure their season does not slip further into the abyss.
