Already qualified, Morocco moved to South Africa on June 17 for the 5th day. Facing the Bafana Bafana, also qualified, the coach of the Atlas Lions, Walid Regragui, semi-finalist at the last World Cup in Qatar, missed his entry for his first meeting in CAN after the Vahid Halilhodžić era. Morocco lost 2-1. Moroccan goalkeeper Munir scored against his side in the 5th minute while Zakhele Lepasa doubled the lead for the South Africans (48th). Hakim Ziyech reduced the score in the 60th minute with a shot from the left close to the post. Morocco can finish top of Group K if they beat Liberia in September.
