Morocco are the second nation to book their place for AFCON 2021 round of 16 after Cameroon following their 2-0 win over Comoros yesterday afternoon at Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium.
The Atlas Lions made it two wins and two clean sheets from two matches at this tournament as they beat the debutants of Comoros 2-0 at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaounde.
Selim Amallah gave the 1976 champions an early lead and then set up substitute Zakaria Aboukhlal to seal the win a minute from time with a goal that was initially disallowed for offside before being given after a VAR check.
In between, Vahid Halilhodzic’s Moroccan side were regularly frustrated as Nayef Aguerd hit the underside of the crossbar with a header, and Comoros goalkeeper Salim Ben Boina produced some heroic saves.
Boina, who plays in France’s amateur regional fifth tier, produced a remarkable quadruple save on his line and then kept out a late Youssef En-Nesyri penalty.
Morocco are now certain to reach the last 16 and are well-placed to go through as winners of Group C – in which Gabon held Ghana to a 1-1 draw after a brilliant late equaliser by Jim Allevinah neutralised André Ayew’s similarly magnificent early strike.
