Nasreddine Nabi saw his Raja Casablanca side suffer a 2-1 defeat at the hands of relegation-threatened Union Yacoub El-Mansour in the Botola Pro League.

The Green Eagles broke the deadlock in the ninth minute through Nigerian striker Mathias Oyewusi, who was signed in the January transfer window.

However, the home team levelled matters on the stroke of half time, thanks to a goal from Zakaria Fati after an assist from Brahim Mansouri.

The relegation candidates completed the comeback in the 56th minute via Hatim Mrabet, handing Nabi his first defeat in charge of the Casablanca giants.

RCA, as a result, dropped to fourth place with 49 points amassed in the Botola Pro League, ahead of the last three fixtures in the Moroccan topflight.

Notably, Raja missed an opportunity to close the gap on log leaders AS FAR, who played to a thrilling 2-2 draw with defending champions RS Berkane on the same day.

AS FAR are one point clear at the summit of the table, having picked up 53 points, while Pablo Franco Martin's Mas Fes closely trail in second place.

Meanwhile, with the Botola Pro League title race poised to go down to the wire, Nabi and his troops travel to Ittihad Tanger in their next outing on Sunday, 28 June.
