Botola Pro : Le Wydad s’offre le Derby et relance la course au sommet
Le Wydad Athletic Club a remporté le derby casablancais face à son éternel rival, le Raja Club Athletic, sur le score d’un but à zéro, ce samedi au complexe Mohammed V de Casablanca, dans le cadre de la 20e journée de Botola Pro.
Dans une ambiance particulière et sous une énorme pression populaire, le Raja a entamé la rencontre avec davantage d’intentions offensives, monopolissant le ballon durant une bonne partie de la première période. Les “Verts” ont tenté d’imposer leur rythme, tandis que le Wydad s’est montré plus prudent, misant sur un bloc compact et des transitions rapides.
Mais comme souvent dans les grands rendez-vous, l’efficacité a fait la différence. À la 39e minute, le Congolais Joseph Bakasu a profité d’une offensive rapide pour décocher une frappe imparable qui n’a laissé aucune chance au gardien rajawi Mehdi Harrar. Un but qui a fait exploser le camp rouge et refroidi les ardeurs du Raja avant la pause.
Mené au score, le RCA est revenu des vestiaires avec des intentions plus agressives. Les hommes en vert ont poussé pour revenir dans la partie, multipliant les offensives et les tentatives dans le camp adverse. Mais face à eux, le Wydad a affiché une solidité défensive remarquable, restant fidèle à son plan de jeu basé sur la discipline tactique et les contre-attaques.
Malgré plusieurs situations de part et d’autre, le score ne bougera plus jusqu’au coup de sifflet final. Le Wydad s’adjuge ainsi un derby capital, aussi précieux sur le plan comptable que psychologique.
Grâce à cette victoire, le club rouge porte son total à 37 points et se relance dans la lutte pour les premières places, tandis que le Raja voit sa dynamique freinée malgré son statut de leader avec 39 unités.
Raja 0-1 Wydad : Résumé
Foote, Norton proud of Junior Bok fightback as they capture maiden U20 TRC title.
Junior Springbok coach Kevin Foote and skipper Riley Norton praised the SA U20 side for fighting back from three to one tries down to draw 29-29 with New Zealand in their final match of the 2026 Under-20 Rugby Championship at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqberha on Saturday. South Africa fought back to hold a 22-15 lead at halftime in this thrilling encounter which was staged in front of 18 100 people.
Speaking to the media after the match, Foote said: “We had moments where things didn’t go our way, but what stood out was the fight in the group and the resilience to keep coming back. That’s what you need in games like this, especially on occasions like these.” Foote felt the Junior Boks showed clear development in their physicality and kicking game compared to previous encounters with New Zealand.
“Twelve months ago, we came here and didn’t kick particularly well. This time our kicking was mature, contestable, and it allowed us to play in the right areas of the field. There’s been real growth in our game.” However, Foote admitted breakdown efficiency and ball security were areas where they could be better: “We probably turned over the ball too easily at times, and that’s something we’ll definitely work on. Against a team like New Zealand, you get punished if you’re not clinical.”
Captain Riley Norton, who had another solid game at No 5 lock, echoed his coach’s sentiments, particularly around the tense closing stages: “Those last ten minutes were hectic. Momentum kept swinging and that’s where you learn the most,” Norton said. “We made a few simple errors and lost shape at the breakdown, and that gave them chances.” Despite that, the Junior Bok skipper stressed the value of the tournament experience: “These are exactly the kind of pressure situations we’ll face at a Junior World Cup. You have to stay composed, control what you can, and trust your systems.”
Both Foote and Norton agreed that while the draw was bittersweet, the broader objective had been achieved. “We’ve won the tournament, we’ve tested our depth, and we’ve learned a lot about ourselves,” said Foote. “This experience will serve us well going forward.” Foote was also quick to credit the passionate Eastern Cape public for their role in the tournament’s success.
“To have over 40,000 people through the turnstiles across the three rounds is simply incredible,” said Foote. “From the moment we arrived, Gqeberha made us feel right at home. The energy in the stadium was incredible, and that support – right up until the final whistle of today’s game – was a massive factor for the boys. We are deeply grateful to every fan who came out to back us; they were truly fantastic.”
The SA U20s finished the tournament unbeaten on 13 points after they and NZ both earned three points from the closing game – two points for the draw and one bonus-point for scoring four tries each. Australia and Argentina finished on seven points each.

QAT : Triplé historique de Brahimi en finale de l’Emir Cup !
L’international algérien Yacine Brahimi a été le grand artisan du triomphe d’Al Gharafa en finale de la Coupe de l’Émir du Qatar 2025-2026. Le club qatari a largement dominé Al Sadd (4-1), samedi soir au stade international Khalifa, devant plus de 37 000 spectateurs. Auteur d’un triplé exceptionnel, l’international algérien a livré une prestation de très haut niveau pour offrir un neuvième sacre au club.
Le Gharafa avait pris les commandes dès la première période grâce à Ferjani Sassi (21e), avant que Brahimi ne double la mise six minutes plus tard après une superbe action collective. Très inspiré, l’ancien joueur du FC Porto a ensuite inscrit un troisième but pour son équipe à la 63e minute, confirmant la domination des “Faucons”. Malgré la réduction du score d’Al Sadd en fin de rencontre, Brahimi a clôturé le festival offensif dans le temps additionnel en signant son troisième but personnel. Grâce à ce succès, Al Gharafa conserve son titre et devient la première équipe à réussir cette performance depuis Al Sadd en 2020 et 2021.

When injured Hooker could be back in action
A tentative timeline has been set for Ethan Hooker’s return to the Springboks following surgery to his injured shoulder.
According to Rapport, Hooker will definitely miss the Nations Championship Tests against England, Scotland and Wales in July, but is targeting the opening Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series against the All Blacks at Ellis Park on 22 August.
The 23-year-old Sharks star had surgery two and a half weeks ago after dislocating his shoulder in a Vodacom URC clash against the Ospreys last month. He is expected to be out for around 10 weeks.
Hooker suffered the injury after Ospreys wing Luke Morgan dived onto him after he had already scored a try.
The Sharks requested an investigation into the incident, but the citing commissioner ruled that Morgan’s actions did not warrant a yellow or red card.
Hooker enjoyed a breakthrough 2025 season with the Springboks, earning eight Test caps after making his debut off the bench against Italy at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium last July.
His impressive form saw him named SA Rugby Young Player of the Year, while he was also nominated for the World Rugby Young Player of the Year award.
