Hilal Al-Tair, coach of Ittihad Tangier, sparked widespread controversy with his unusual decision during his team’s match against Moghreb Tétouan, today Saturday, as part of the “Derby du Nord”, in the 11th round of the professional tournament.
The decision was to replace the young goalkeeper Rayan Azouagh (17 years old) as he was preparing to save a penalty on which Moghreb Tétouan scored his second goal.
Azouagh had scored two goals for Moghreb Tétouan, the first in the 12th minute, and the second after a foul resulting in a penalty, which prompted the coach to send him off before the kick was taken.
The goalkeeper left the pitch crying in a touching scene as players from both teams were eager to support and console him after the difficult situation he faced during the match.
