Oussama Idrissi won the Best Player award in the match between his team, Pachuca, and Mazatlán, which ended in a 1-1 draw during the 11th round of the final phase of the Mexican championship (Clausura). The Moroccan winger drew attention when he broke his fast during the match, a moment that sparked reactions from both the public and the Mexican media.
Oussama Idrissi shone from the beginning of the match, creating several scoring opportunities for his teammates. He also attempted to score multiple times, with the most notable being his shot that grazed the post of the opposing goal in added time of the first half.
The second half was marked by a surprising goal from Mazatlán against the run of play, where player Moreno capitalized on a defensive error to score the opening goal in the 49th minute (0-1). However, Pachuca managed to equalize six minutes later thanks to their star forward, John Kennedy.
The Moroccan winger was named Man of the Match, but the moment that garnered the most reactions was when he broke his fast at sunset, which occurred eight minutes after the start of the match. Many social media pages shared and commented on this scene, as well as newspapers and sports websites in Mexico, such as Footballero, which dedicated an article detailing Idrissi’s situation, complete with a comprehensive explanation of the month of Ramadan and how fasting is observed.
