UEFA champions league winners take in the Moroccan champions in the final. Raja famously defeated Brazilian side, Athletico Miniero 3-1 in the 2nd semifinal.

The key men for the Moroccan champions would surely be forward, Iajour, and star midfielder and captain, Mountouali.

'Like' if u think Bayern will win

CFCfan: 'Like' if u think Bayern will win

dream well

Raja Casablanca will become the first African side
to win the Club World Cup if they beat German
giants Bayern Munich in Saturday's final.
It is a tough task for the unfancied Moroccans to overcome
the reigning European champions but they will be roared on
by a partisan crowd in Marrakech.
"This is not just about Raja, or any city in particular, this is
about Morocco as a whole," said Raja midfielder Kouko
Guehi.


"All the club presidents came here to support us, all of
Morocco supports us and that is truly heart warming.
"We will need the best of us to (win),'' Raja coach Faouzi
Benzarti.
"We will fight in this final, show them that we are men,
warriors. We are going to fight on all fronts to win this
final."


Raja became only the second African club to reach the final
by pulling off a stunning 3-1 win against Brazil's Atletico
Mineiro - a team which featured two-time World Footballer
of the Year Ronaldinho.
And they will take confidence into the match despite having
a squad that sits only mid-table in the Moroccan league and
cost a mere £7.9m to assemble, compared to the £408m
splashed out by Bayern.
On paper, the game seems to be the biggest mismatch in the
history of the competition.
While Bayern are unbeaten in the Bundesliga since October
last year, Raja's results in the Moroccan league have been
so bad that they fired coach Mohamed Fakhir earlier this
month.
However, new coach Faouzi Benzarti has made an instant
impact.
"He's definitely got the best out of us and given us fresh
confidence after an unfortunate run of results," forward
Mouhssine Iajour said.
"His approach is more attack-minded than our previous
coach. He always wants us to attack, no matter what the
state of the game is."
Benzarti's own words leave no room for doubt that he will
not send his team out to sit back.
"We will need the best of us to win. We know the character
of the German teams. We should not let them attack us all
the time," he said.
Whether Raja will get the chance to attack Bayern depends
on their ability to defy the odds again and play the game of
their lives.
Only in the tournament as champions of the host nation,
Raja's run has been remarkable but few people would back
them against Bayern.
The Germans were given byes until the semi-final stage,
where they showed their quality by sweeping aside Asian
champions Guangzhou Evergrande of China 3-0.
However, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has
warned the club to be on their guard.
"Everyone expected Atletico Mineiro to make the final. No-
one, not even here in Morocco, thought Casablanca would
make it,'' he said. "It's a surprise to everyone, us included.
"There can be no complacency and arrogance just because
they're not well-known in the footballing world.
"But the Bayern team is too stable, has too much good
character, and the coach is too ambitious this year. All of
them want this trophy. It would mean we've won everything
there is to win."
The Germans have already won the Champions League,
Bundesliga, German Cup and Uefa Super Cup.
"Getting to the final was a must,'' Bayern captain Philipp
Lahm said. "It gives us the opportunity to get our hands on
another trophy.''

Wow! Talk about a reversal of roles

Full time! Bayern 2-0 Raja

In a match like this where raja is the underdog, there should have adopted a defensive formation(maybe 10-0-1), try and force the game into extra time, and pray that they are lucky.

Yeah, they tried that approach, but they were undone by Dante's early goal in the 7th minute. So Raja had to play a more open game in search of the equalizer.
