Raja, on the other hand, had a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Nahdat Zemamra at their home ground. The match was closely contested, with Raja managing to score the decisive goal to claim all three points. This win, coupled with Wydad's victory, solidifies the positions of these two top teams in the league. Their dominance is a testament to their strength and determination in the competition.
