For the 4th day of CAN 2025 qualifying, Morocco is two goals ahead thanks to a double from Ben Seghir, stirring this evening.
21:44 – Morocco imposes its paw (44′)
At the end of the first period, Morocco is finding more and more faults, particularly in the axis. The break will do good for this Central African team.
9:42 p.m. – Ben Seghir still unstoppable! (42′)
In the midfield, the Moroccan demonstrated technical accuracy to lift the ball full axis before causing the foul 40 meters away. Free kick missed by Ounahi who had kicked his ball too hard.
21:39 – The double for Ben Seghir! (38′)
In the space of less than 4 minutes, the young Moroccan scored a double! Just entering the area on the left side, he places a low shot on the opposite side of the net. It’s clinical and it allows Morocco to take off.
21:35 – Ben Seghir puts Morocco in front! (35)
On a cross from Rahimi’s right, Ben Seghir places a shot from the right which crashes into Lembet’s bar. He sees the ball return to his feet before slipping it into the opposite net with the left. A deserved opener for the young midfielder, very interesting this evening.
21:32 – Ben Seghir tests Lembet! (32′)
After a clever little full-axis pass from Hakimi to Ben Seghir, the young midfielder tried his luck from 30 meters with a powerful strike which forced Lembet to deploy to take the ball out for a corner.
21:30 – Gabon won against Lesotho
Small point in this group 2 with Gabon who won their match 2-0 against Lesotho. A victory which consolidates them into second place in the group with a provisional 3 point lead over Central Africa. This team must take at least one point against Morocco this evening to stay in the race for qualification.
21:27 – Namnganda harvests the free kick (27′)
While he had an interesting free kick 30 meters slightly to the right, the Central African winger tears up his shot from the right which flies wide above Munir’s cage.
21:24 – Ounahi very close to opening the score! (24′)
The midfielder, who had a little space in front of him, placed a powerful left shot low to the ground. His shot brushes the right post of Lembet who seemed beaten on this shot!
21:21 – Rahimi locked up (21′)
While he had been found deep in the opponent’s area, Rahimi saw Yamberé lock him in on the left side to prevent him from crossing with first intention. It’s well defended.
21:20 – Morocco delays (20′)
Possession is in Morocco’s favor but Regragui’s team cannot find speed and continuity in their forward play. Still 0-0 after 20 minutes of play.
21:17 – Nice Central African offensive move (17′)
At the low point, Kondogbia plays with one touch for Mafouta who slips a ball to Koyalipou who went deep. This is well anticipated by Hakimi and Harkass who regain possession of the leather.
21:16 – Yellow card for Ngoma (15′)
The Central African receives the first yellow card after a foul on Ezzalzouli. For the moment we are witnessing a very choppy meeting with numerous fouls called.
9:14 p.m. – Harkass touches the ball! (13′)
On a free kick on the right side from Ben Seghir, the midfielder works his ball for Harkass who left alone in the back. The defender being his leg to take the ball back from close range of the goal but it is barely short. First thrill at the Oujda stadium of honor!
21:11 – Munir authoritarian (11′)
On the first Central African free kick taken by Ngoma from 35 meters on the right, Munir serenely won in the air while Koyalipou was sought with a header.
21:09 – Moroccan corner (9′)
On the left side at the 5.50 level, Belammari overflows before adjusting a blocked low cross. On the corner, Ben Seghir adjusts his cross, it is pushed back by the Central African defense.
21:07 – Morocco offensive (8′)
Morocco gets closer to this opposing surface with Ounahi who sees En-Nesyri’s cross call. He adjusts his pass behind the back of his attacker who cannot be on reception.
21:07 – The first strike for Morocco! (6′)
Entering the area on the left side, Belammari got on his left foot to shoot a shot that seemed to be on target. It’s countered by the defense. He then follows up with a rather hard-hitting ball for Hakimi.
21:03 – Interception of Ato-Zandanga (4′)
While Ounahi had gone down a notch to touch the ball, the midfielder adjusted a powerful pass for Rahimi in depth. The Central African full-back anticipates and cleanly intercepts the leather.
21:03 – Big Central African pressing (3′)
In the wake of a Namnganda high on the ground, the Central African bloc did not count the efforts in these first minutes.
21:02 – Harkass plays long (1′)
The right axis defender from Morocco does not hesitate to play long from the start while looking for Ezzalzouli. Yangao intervenes with his head.
