For the fifth time in its history, the continent will obtain a medal at the men’s Olympic football tournament. Who, Egypt or Morocco, will get the bronze to end the Olympic parenthesis in style?
After the gold medal hopes vanished for Egypt and Morocco, defeated respectively by France and Spain in the semi-finals, the African continent will therefore not see a successor to Nigeria and Cameroon, victorious in 1996 and 2000. It still remains to go and get a beautiful bronze medal which would be synonymous with the first Olympic football medal for the Egyptians or the Moroccans. Bronze that the continent has already known in 1992 in Barcelona with Ghana then Nigeria in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
Both teams will be able to count on two players in form. On the Egyptian side, if Ibrahim Abdel was a little less visible against the Blues, he still has 3 goals in the last 3 matches in the tournament. Opposite, Soufiane Rahimi has been unstoppable for a few matches since he scored in each of Morocco’s last 6 matches.
