00:00And a few other countries. The kickoff blasted down out of bounds down into Lesotho territory.
00:07Here we go then for the second Group A clash qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations 20-27.
00:15Pamoja.
00:21He said he up with the header at the back.
00:27Ismail Seibari, another player.
00:29So it's only Israf Hakimi, the Paris Saint-Germain, wingback, who is not getting a right out from the three
00:39that we knew were just coming back from slight knocks.
00:44Not injury, but just, you know, really just coming back from a big block of matches playing for their different
00:53clubs.
00:55Hakimi is the player who's on the bench, but they're all available.
00:59Whether or not they're at 100% is a different cup of steel, a different scenario altogether.
01:04Morocco passing the ball around quite nicely.
01:19Morocco passing the ball to the left-hand side with El-Khanoussi.
01:25Came through the Raja-Casablanca Youth Academy.
01:29Of course, former winners of the CAF African Champions League.
01:32The artists who once shared the same stadium as Ouidad.
01:48Alouadi is choosing as the centre-backs.
01:51Of course, Aoudoudal and Diop and Manzraoui making up that defensive back line.
01:58They'll be very comfortable just passing the ball around.
02:02There's Alouadi.
02:06Ball goes over and back into that midfield.
02:16Manzraoui.
02:17A little bit of movement.
02:19That's a good little run off the left-hand side and a chance there.
02:21El-Khanoussi gets the ball back across.
02:23It's gone high over the top.
02:24It's been full and well-controlled and a chance there for Brahim Diaz.
02:29But his shot gets blocked.
02:32Crossover.
02:33But they do win a corner.
02:34And it's good work to get himself back into position from Bilal El-Khanous.
02:39He's the former OM player in France in Liga.
02:42And also Angers, Strasbourg and Girona as well.
02:49And an opportunity here for Lesotho.
02:52Let's see what they can do.
02:56Neil Mokachane is going to send this over.
02:58The Botswana-based winger.
03:0130 years of age.
03:02Plenty of players coming up, including Tabo Machele.
03:05Watch out for him.
03:06The big guy with 20 on his back.
03:08Chance for her.
03:09Chance for her.
03:10Well, there's it's whipped over and free kick going against Lesotho.
03:22With the Juan Aziz unable to keep that on the right side of the paint.
03:31He's a former Kruger United player as well.
03:41Players spending time over here in South Africa.
03:44Here's the resulting corner.
03:45Front post.
03:45There was someone there.
03:46Lots of players queuing up.
03:48Need to get rid of it.
03:49Sibawi can't get on the end of it.
03:50Finally is headed away.
03:52Collected just on the outside of the paint.
03:54Brahim Diaz looked like it came off his arm.
03:56The referee doesn't say anything.
03:57It's lofted high over the top and away from anybody's head.
04:01And the play goes down in the six-yard box for Lesotho.
04:06Love to show off there.
04:08The glittering skills within this Atlas line set up.
04:12Danger is in abundance when you are playing the team in green and red.
04:18Chance for Unahita.
04:20Use that sweet left foot of his to whip it over.
04:25Right foot, sorry.
04:26And there it is over.
04:27Headed away at the far post.
04:29Goalkeepers are falling down to the ground.
04:31They managed to get the ball back.
04:32It's a chance to try and go on a little bit of a sneaky weaving move there.
04:37Finally the ball cleared.
04:39And Danger has scored a few of his goals.
04:42They've split the defense here.
04:44Nicely done.
04:44Brought back.
04:45And that's been cut out.
04:46Oh, it's another chance.
04:47Sibari just trying to jump and pounce on the loose ball.
04:51It's collected here by Tahaline.
04:54And he's got an option out to the right-hand side.
04:56Gets a little bit of space.
04:57Hoover, too, at the right-hand side here.
05:00Hello, Adi getting involved.
05:06That's a great through ball.
05:08Oh, Sibari couldn't quite get the first touch right.
05:11Otherwise, collected there by Unahi.
05:14Gets the ball back.
05:15There's a chance to...
05:16Oh, it's a little bit too close for comfort.
05:19Brian Diaz.
05:19Brian Diaz puts it out to the right-hand side.
05:22It's been a hit across there by Eloadi.
05:25And, um...
05:27Nicely done.
05:28Nicely done!
05:29A firm strike there.
05:31And, uh, in close quarters there was a lot of traffic around,
05:34but still managed to get the shot in.
05:36And Marco nearly, uh, punching.
05:39Ooh.
05:41Firmly.
05:41That's well played by Noor Mokacani.
05:43And there's the long ball over there towards, uh,
05:45down the line towards Mutabang.
05:47Clearing his lines at the back.
05:498-Budlal.
05:53And, uh, what it was, it was a congenital foot condition
05:57that caused his feet to just turn inwards,
06:00which, of course, uh, doctors had problems with.
06:03So, uh, lots of special braces when he was very young.
06:08It's been picked up here by Unahi.
06:10He lost the ball over.
06:11Oh, there's Braimsy.
06:11He has far post!
06:12Well, it's gone wide.
06:14That was a golden opportunity for Zakaria Eloadi.
06:17Another free-kick situation here.
06:27Now, let's, uh, see what Bilal El-Khanous can do from here with his right foot.
06:33Drops it into the penalty box.
06:35It's just flying past the left post there.
06:38And you consider Issa Diop coming up.
06:42Pinched back by Eloadi is, uh, Diaz.
06:45Diaz gets the ball to Sebari.
06:47Squares it to Unahi.
06:48And now he's got an option with El-Khanous.
06:50He's got a one-on-one situation.
06:52Does he go for the shot?
06:53No, he gets the ball to, uh, Mazraoui.
06:55And there's the defensive header.
06:59There's a strong challenge there coming in from Malani.
07:02But, uh, still in possession.
07:04Good through ball.
07:04Lovely done.
07:05That is absolutely perfect.
07:06Brahim Diaz.
07:07Mazraoui will put it on his right foot.
07:09It's a rifling shot that just comes straight off, uh, the center back.
07:13Makwanazi.
07:14And Lesotho collects.
07:17Oh, Mazraoui battling for the ball.
07:19Brahim Diaz.
07:19Diaz.
07:20Diaz with an attempt to try and touch the ball through.
07:22He's been picked up here.
07:23Is Unahi Unahi running out of a little bit of trouble?
07:25There's Mazraoui over the right-hand side.
07:27Gets seed up.
07:28Pulls it back.
07:28There's a shot coming in.
07:29It's gone high for Unahi.
07:32That should have been drilled in.
07:34Everything he does is very calm and collected.
07:37Defensively astute.
07:38Timing good.
07:39Physical.
07:41And, uh, and smart.
07:43And excellent at tidying everything up.
07:55There's the through ball nicely down.
07:57Oh, it's been picked up.
07:58It's straight in the back of the net.
07:59Brahim Diaz gets the goal for Morocco.
08:02One goal to nail in the last minute of the first half.
08:09And a goal that, uh, really does hurt the crocodiles of Lesotho.
08:15Everything was set up for them to go into the changing rooms.
08:19With, uh, goalless here in Bloemfontein.
08:32And another goal for Brahim Diaz.
08:36Unstoppable.
08:37Let's have a look at this again.
08:39That was the, uh, the move there.
08:41Wonderful through ball.
08:43All right.
08:43Just gets knocked into his path by Makwanazi.
08:47And Kwanazi, that left foot.
08:49And it's there that it's just slotted in.
08:51Left-footed strike directly into the goal of Brahim Diaz.
08:54Uh, score.
08:58There's too many players coming back.
09:00And, well, if you don't have anybody to come and help you,
09:03then you're going to lose possession.
09:05That's really good work.
09:13And Wadi coming across and just helping out in defense.
09:17And it's exactly what you want him to do.
09:23And the last few seconds of the, uh, first half.
09:46And that's, uh, the halftime whistle here in Bloemfontein for this Group A class.
09:53A qualifier for next year's Total Energy's Camp Africa Cup of Nations is Lesotho 0, Morocco 1.
10:04Back early on in the second half.
10:06Bob Mofoso is the man in charge.
10:07And, uh, Mohamed Wabi is the man who has helped his team get into the driving seat.
10:15But, uh, they need to pull up their socks and go in search of an equalizer.
10:20Paul's staying, uh, on the right side of the paint.
10:23Finally going out.
10:24The man in charge.
10:25Throw in for Masrawi.
10:28Back to, uh, the very solid 8-Burglal.
10:3120 years of age.
10:33Can't pour enough praise in his direction.
10:35Going to a stormy game.
10:37Is, uh, Issa Diop of Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
10:55Of course, this window is, uh, produced two games each for the nation's seeking qualification.
11:10Just not messing around.
11:11Getting the ball back up into enemy territory as quickly as possible.
11:14It does, uh, get picks up there once again.
11:17Now he has been super effective in that attacking midfield role.
11:24Constantly taking the pass, constantly shifting the ball around.
11:30Dealing with pressure.
11:36Ball comes down to Masrawi.
11:38The flag's gone up for offside.
12:10Good ball to Unai.
12:12Unai with a long-range shot.
12:13Well, it's, uh, far too high to scare Moorani.
12:19But I found a bit of space and decided to try and get the shot in.
12:24Trying to understand.
12:25I mean, I'm sure that Mohamed Wabi's saying, we need to get more shots in.
12:29We need to, um, you know, let's, let's make Sekouan Mourani, the goalkeeper for Lesotho,
12:35uncomfortable at the back.
12:37A lot of possession in the final third.
12:39They just can't quite, um, get themselves that final shot in.
12:43They do.
12:47Napola, the Ligabato FC player.
12:57A long-range shot this time, high.
13:03It's been a little bit frustrating.
13:05They do lead, but they just.
13:19Collects it on the right side, Sebari.
13:28Nail El-Enawi, El-Wadi.
13:39Nice pass to El-Khanous.
13:41Here he is.
13:44Azeddin O'Nahi.
13:45Waits for support with Mizrawi coming towards him.
13:50Uh, slowly passing the ball around.
13:52Not being, uh, they're not jumping out of position, but, uh, they are giving,
13:58being given quite a lot of space, Morocco, to make those passes.
14:02That's a good ball.
14:02There's a shot coming in.
14:03It's a straight, direct shot at the goalkeeper Mourani from Brahim Diaz.
14:10As he stands up, they all want to see, uh, Hakimi come on to the pitch and
14:15show us what he's capable of doing.
14:17So, 25 minutes left to play.
14:20It's the Brahim Diaz goal that has separated these two.
14:24There's still lots of football to be played.
14:35Mahimi score of the second goal.
14:38Giving the ball away.
14:39This is dangerous.
14:41Sebari pushes it too far.
14:43It's hamstone by Mourani.
14:46Not a real serious issue there.
14:51He said, he said, you're moving back into the central position with 8 Bud Lala.
15:07Well, it's lofted over the top, and why not a chance for a shot, but it didn't happen.
15:12And coming across is the ever-present 20-year-old 8 Bud Lala.
15:15But good work there from Nio Mokacchani, going to race onto that.
15:21There's Azuli, fresh legs.
15:23Sofiana Rahimi, there's the delivery coming in front post.
15:26But it's headed away immediately there by Makwanazi.
15:30Does a brilliant job.
15:32Clearing the danger.
15:33Now they've got to commit themselves to that defensive block once again.
15:38Just hope that they can pinch the ball and
15:43Connect the cords and head up as quickly as possible.
15:48Into enemy territory.
15:57Intervention coming in from Makpola.
16:02Marco will play Niger twice in November before finishing off with Gabon away.
16:08And Lesotho at home for the matchday six of this group.
16:18Nicely done, bit of space.
16:20Well, that's a good through ball.
16:22Can he get himself three?
16:23He has bounced perfectly there for Elwadi to clear it.
16:27A little bit of extra luck there.
16:29And that could have seen him be all by himself on his own.
16:35Kulahide.
16:36Kulahide.
16:38Nice touch as well.
16:40Now there's Azuli.
16:41Through ball, it goes.
16:43And it's straight into the goalkeeper's hands.
16:47And Rahimi claiming that he was not on the right side of the white line when he touched it, but
16:56it's not on the right side of the white line when he's at the right side of the white line.
16:57And they're going to pass it.
16:59And they're going to pass it.
17:01And the ball away again.
17:04And then they find it back in their path, though.
17:06Unahi setting up Rahimi, ball over to the left-hand side, it's not pinpoint accuracy, and Sibari couldn't get there,
17:14but look, there's a poor clearance there for Mourane, and they've given the ball back to the Atlas Lions again,
17:19there's Azuli, it's been picked up here, Unahi, Unahi, Unahi, with a shot that's scooped up easily by Mourane, don't
17:27want to make the same mistake twice, he rolls it out.
17:33A little back flick into his path, here he is, there's Azuli, Sibari, nice ball, but the first touch letting
17:46him down, Lesotho with a chance to try and get themselves out of this defensive conundrum.
18:00Squared ball to Mafatle.
18:09Good work from Unahi, there's the lofted ball over the top, Rahimi collects, he's got an option with Sibari, looks
18:15up, scanning all the way, there's the ball, this pass back, what a great goal that is, Unahi.
18:23And another pass back from this Moroccan, Rahimi, finding that man, El-Sidin Unahi, who slots it into the corner
18:35to make it two goals to nil.
18:39And Mourane, the captain, unable to get near it, that's what they do, Morocco, that's how they play.
18:51And 56 matches played, that was the lofted ball over the top to Sofiano Rahimi, he's already looking up, he
18:57knows exactly where it's going to go.
18:59And it's the open, inside foot, right foot, because he's just placed it into the corner to be the goalkeeper
19:07with force.
19:08It's a perfect finish, it's a perfect finish, and a great...
19:17Kulehile into the penalty box.
19:19Anybody with a header? That wasn't a bad option, was it, Mkawanza.
19:24Mkawanza unable to get himself on the end of it, and the 32-year-old...
19:33Pintayeb.
19:37Nice surging run through the middle, and a chance, that's a good through ball, not good enough, though.
19:42And just cut out of the bag by Mokokane.
19:45That's a ball that's... this is dangerous, options to the right side.
19:49Plenty of Moroccan players back in a position, Mokokane gets the ball over to the right side.
19:53Here's the delivery from Moulane. Moulane, who's going to get there first?
19:56Just... well, the first header from Igbo Lala.
20:00That's nicely done. Well, we're getting to see a shot.
20:04They just want to see a shot.
20:06Has been picked up, great work there from Kulehile.
20:09Long ring shot coming in! Brilliant effort, it really was.
