For the 4th day of CAN 2025 qualifying, Morocco performed well once again against the Central African Republic (0-4), with a double from Ben Seghir and two goals from En-Nesyri and Ezzalzouli.
23:15 – The match summary
Again for the Central Africans who lost heavily (0-4) against the imperial Moroccans, three days after losing against the same Atlas Lions (5-0). A heavy score, difficult to predict as the Bamara competed during the first 30 minutes of the match. It took a great Ben Seghir to trigger the Moroccan torpedo. He first unblocked the situation with a cross shot from the opposite side of the net (34′) before scoring a double in less than 4 minutes at the end of an almost similar situation. A sparkling first period from the Moroccan prodigy which allowed his team to take a two-goal lead at the break. The Central African nightmare was only just beginning.
From the restart, Ndobe let his foot drag in the area and conceded a penalty, perfectly converted by En-Nesyri (49′). Enough to weigh down his team which was gradually giving up. In the 66th minute, Ezzalzouli, clinical in front of goal, transformed a gem of a center from Rahimi with a clear shot from a tight angle. Morocco then managed the last 20 minutes by playing in an armchair. A resounding victory which allows these Atlas Lions to be both the best attack in the competition with 12 goals and the best defense with only one small goal conceded against Lesotho.
23:03 – One point in the standings
In this group B of qualifications for CAN 2025, Morocco (12 points) establishes its domination with a 4th victory in as many matches. In second place, Gabon (7 points), 2-0 winner of Lesotho, holds the rope for qualification while there are still slim hopes for the Central African Republic (3 points). However, we will have to win twice in the last two meetings.
