Career

FAR Rabat

At the 2010 Moroccan Throne Cup, in a match against MAS Fez, Askri blocked a penalty shootout but failed to grab the ball and instead went to celebrate his save. Meanwhile, the ball spun into the goal and Rabat lost the penalty shootout with a score of 7-6.[2]

Raja Casablanca

Askri contributed to Casablanca's win against Clube Atlético Mineiro by preventing two goals[3] from Fernandinho and Jô.[4] Casablanca's win brought them to the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup finals against FC Bayern Munich.[5]
