The match was settled in the first half, with US Yacoub Mansour taking the only goal into the interval. FUS Rabat had the entire second half to find a response, but no equaliser arrived and the score remained unchanged.
That left a simple summary of the afternoon: one first-half breakthrough decided the result, and the second period brought no addition to the scoreboard. For US Yacoub Mansour, it was a valuable away success in a season where points have been hard-earned. For Rabat, it was another frustrating home outing after a game that was still within reach at the break.
There was also a reversal from the earlier league meeting between the sides, which Rabat had won 3-1 away from home. This time, US Yacoub Mansour came out on top and protected their advantage to the finish.
The latest score has an effect on the table as well. Rabat are eighth on 37 points after 30 matches, while US Yacoub Mansour sit 15th on 30 points. The stats and highlights may be slim, but the final score told the story clearly enough: the visitors struck before half-time and made it stand.
