The Match Film
From the very first minutes, Morocco set the pace, monopolizing the ball and patiently building their play. The overwhelming possession of the Atlas Lions (nearly 70%) testified to their desire to control every inch of the field. Comoros, hunkered down in defense, showed admirable resilience, their goalkeeper making multiple saves to repel Moroccan assaults. Despite the territorial dominance and numerous attempts (7 shots, 5 on target), the scoreboard remained stubbornly blank at halftime, not without a series of yellow cards for both sides, a sign of palpable tension on the pitch.
The second half saw the script repeat itself, with Morocco still on the attack and Comoros fighting bravely. But football is a sport that rewards perseverance. In the 74th minute, the Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah erupted! Ibrahim Diaz first found the back of the net, unleashing a roar from the crowd. And as if that wasn’t enough, Ayoub El Kaabi followed suit almost immediately, sealing the match’s fate with a lightning-fast double strike that ended Comorian hopes. Two goals in quick succession, a real hammer blow for the visitors, and a moment of pure relief for Moroccan supporters.
