In contrast, Hassania Agadir coach Hilal Tair viewed the game as balanced for the most part. He felt his team created several chances by exploiting spaces but lacked the composure to convert them. Tair acknowledged that small details made the difference, particularly Wydad's quick comeback. "Our players put in a great effort against a team with extensive experience," he said, concluding that Hassania will continue working to overcome this phase and return to winning ways.
