Automatically qualified for the next African Cup of Nations since it organizes the competition, Morocco will not have done things by halves. Against Gabon, Achraf Hakimi's team obtained its fifth success in as many matches played, with 19 goals, more than any other team in these qualifiers. A victory synonymous with first place and a sporting qualification obtained with flying colors.
Brahim Diaz decisive three times, Hakimi scorer
Despite the large score, the Atlas Lions did not take the match in the right direction. With a superb strike, it was former Stéphanois Denis Bouanga who opened the scoring for the Gabonese after just four minutes of play. They finally collapsed, conceding three goals in the space of six minutes. Harkass first equalized with a header in the 17th minute on a service from Hakimi from a free kick, before Brahim Diaz scored twice, from two corners from Monegasque Ben Seghir (20th and 23rd).
