Representing the Moroccan Association of Billiard and Snooker Clubs AMCBS and the All Africa Pool Association champion Yousra Matine claimed a valuable opening round victory over Switzerland's Shirin Volery by 6๏ธโฃ โ5๏ธโฃ in a highly competitive and thrilling encounter that remained undecided until the very last frame.
Yousra controlled much of the match from the outset, racing to a 3๏ธโฃ โ0๏ธโฃ lead before extending her advantage to 5๏ธโฃ โ3๏ธโฃ . The Swiss player mounted an impressive comeback to level the score at 5๏ธโฃ โ5๏ธโฃ , but Yousra's composure, experience, and determination proved decisive as she captured the deciding frame to seal a 6๏ธโฃ โ5๏ธโฃ victory and earn a well-deserved place in the Last 3๏ธโฃ2๏ธโฃ.
Meanwhile, Moroccan player Ismail Afiq was unable to progress after suffering a 6๏ธโฃ โ4๏ธโฃ defeat against Cambodia's Chandara Puth in his opening match. Despite the result, Ismail delivered a commendable performance and demonstrated outstanding fighting spirit throughout the contest.
The Moroccan Association of Billiard and Snooker Clubs (AMCBS) extends its warmest congratulations to champion Yousra Matine on this outstanding international achievement and wishes her continued success in the next round as she proudly represents both the Kingdom of Morocco and the African continent on the world stage.
