00:00And under the rain in Rabat, we are underway to begin the Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations

00:12Morocco 2025. Touch back to his defence, working the ball out to the near side where Muzrawi gets

00:17a touch on it and looks to inspire a little run through the Camorian defence. They are quick in

00:23transition, but that's offside. And the flag raised. Well, that ball's just played into

00:32a little bit of space. So, Vardy with the opportunity to find Rahimi perhaps who chests it down, takes

00:36the ball away from the defender. And now on the overlap, Muzrawi with a decent-looking delivery

00:40a little... Hashtag Total Energies AFCON 2025. Again, looking dangerous. The runner was on.

00:51Diaz wanted the return ball. Rahimi, little nutmeg, through the leg, breaks into the 18-yard

00:57area. Picked up by Diaz. Brain Diaz. Seeking a way through. And then seeking a way past,

01:07that's a penalty. Jean-Jacques Ndala Ngambo. With a very confident call, a big... And in 2018,

01:29Comoros secured a two-all draw against Morocco. But this is for Morocco to take the lead. Rahimi

01:37strikes, but it's saved. Pandor gets his body behind the ball to deny Morocco the early strike.

01:46Rahimi needs to get his head back in the game for a moment. Look to berate himself. And suddenly,

01:52Bormodores take the ball into Morocco territory. It's a brief foray into the Atlas Lions territory.

01:59And that'll be a Morocco free kick. He's now got a penalty save against

02:05a particularly deadly striker from 12 yards out.

02:09Rafiki Saeed. Medical staff. Romain. They're in attendance. He's on the pitch.

02:26Well, the early attacks favoring Morocco. They've certainly dominated. And maybe a chance here.

02:30And now with a little poke through to Masraoui. Looking to control on the far side. Rahimi takes it wide.

02:35Doesn't try the shot from an acute angle. Instead steers it out. Decent delivery. And again,

02:40it's not too far away. This time it's Saeed making a run in, but can't find the header to finish.

02:47Close quarter action of Comoros defend. Lose possession under pressure. Now,

02:54the man that nearly scored hit the woodwork against France in the semi-final of the 2022 FIFA

03:02World Cup for World Cup. And one of several players who made his name

03:15in the African Nations champion. Through to Bura. Over the top. I dare say offside. But very athletic

03:24to look to keep that in play. Bono. Gets the touch on it. And eventually rescued by

03:30Morocco's defense. But ultimately the offside flag is raised. Trucking back for a moment before

03:37sending the ball a little wider. Salaheddin with a little comeback into the danger area.

03:42Sobadi turns squares. A little too heavy. Masraoui will recover. Wonderful pressure from

03:50Morocco. But they just can't find that final penetration. Brahim Diaz. Delivery.

03:58Does find the head of Al Ainoui on this occasion, but can't find the finish. Brahim Diaz. Masraoui

04:03going on the overlap. Soleimani gets his body in the way. Morocco recover. This is relentless.

04:15Masraoui.

04:20Brahim Diaz. Thought he had gone away.

04:24Again. Looked to tee it up from range. Not the worst idea. Considering how wet it is. Chance here.

04:31And it's just floated in front. Of the onrushing player. Illinois. Delivery in again. Steered away.

04:39Amrobat.

04:48Jawa Deliamique. Looked to try his luck from range.

04:53Big cannon of the Camorian captain.

04:59Salaheddin. Goes down. Free kick Morocco.

05:04Raimi. Looking to get himself in a good area. Straight into the wall from Unai.

05:17Benjaloud.

05:20With a little frustration showing. Morocco take quickly. Delivery.

05:23It's attempting to be put beyond the keeper from Saibadi.

05:34That ball. Across the face of goal. And out for the goal kick.

05:39Out towards Salaheddin.

05:51Decent looking delivery. Players lining up.

06:03Helped on its way.

06:04All but one of the last 15 host nations. As have advanced from the group stages.

06:13Pornu will pick up. From the referee. No yellow cards as yet. Just the one substitution. No goals as yet.

06:22Watchful.

06:25Under pressure from Raimi. Free kick.

06:27Comoros.

06:29Clearly the.

06:33The tactical test.

06:37For Regagi is one that he is passing. We are going to see a caution here now.

06:45First of the game.

06:47And it's Kariannis.

06:51Agerd.

06:51Diaz rolls it.

06:56Agerd.

07:01Well he might like to have that one again.

07:05The man who scored on his Spain debut.

07:09Before switching allegiance in 2023.

07:11Again Morocco.

07:15A little space opening up in the centre.

07:16Mazzari will run on to this delightful pass.

07:19Beautifully weighted.

07:20Chance for a cross is decent.

07:22The delivery just a little in behind the three attacking players.

07:28Comoros.

07:29Need to find a little of that spirit.

07:31If they are to get out of their own half here.

07:33Meanwhile Morocco continue to dominate.

07:36And they are not overwhelmed by reputation.

07:42Delivery.

07:43Decent again.

07:44Chance of something acrobatic.

07:48As Comoros.

07:50Frustrates the hosts.

07:51Here's the chance.

07:54Nothing wrong says the referee.

07:55Pandor smuggles the ball.

08:05It hit his arm in the build up to it.

08:18So I.

08:23Wonder if we are going to see a check.

08:24The VAR check has been called by.

08:28The referee.

08:29Now the contact is clear.

08:34But I suspect the ball might have come off the arm of.

08:38Ryan Diaz in the build up to this.

08:41Hits the arm there.

08:48Free kick Comoros.

08:49The decision.

08:50And the correct one.

08:52They had the penalty chance.

08:53They could not convert.

08:55Comoros.

08:56Now looking to come at their opponents.

08:58Bono.

08:59Toivivu.

09:00Out wide.

09:01Finding Zaidou.

09:03Ben Jaloud getting involved.

09:04Toivivu again.

09:06Oh a scramble here.

09:07It's untidy.

09:08And Pandor rescues the situation.

09:10Morocco's midfield.

09:11Come away with it through Unai.

09:13Sends the pass out to Sobari.

09:14Charging run.

09:16Down the far side flank.

09:17Delivery looks decent again.

09:18But.

09:20Ultimately undone by the presence.

09:23Brahim.

09:24Sobari.

09:28Sobari.

09:33Worked in.

09:35That'll be the end of an opening half that is yielded no goals.

09:38And we reach halftime here in Rabat.

09:43With the score still a goal as Morocco and Neil.

09:46Kamara as Neil.

09:48Scoreless at the break.

09:49And we'll be back with the second half after a break.

09:53Sobari.

09:59Oz in white with green trim.

10:01Morocco in the red and green.

10:06Well the underdog narratives are certainly already starting.

10:08Morocco looking to quell those as quickly as they can.

10:12A chance to prove their credentials.

10:13Good night.

10:16Back on his feet.

10:17Decent looking ball in.

10:23Might land kindly.

10:24Doesn't.

10:24Long range.

10:26Could be on the cards.

10:27Again the outlets.

10:27So many of them available to Morocco.

10:30Saladin.

10:32Oh in behind the defence.

10:34That was there to be had.

10:36Illinois somehow misses the target.

10:43Glorious delivery from Saladin.

10:46In behind the defence.

10:48And making the near perfect run.

10:51Nilyoni El-Enoui.

10:56Amrabat.

10:57All sky.

10:59Head around wide.

11:00Here is Bura.

11:02Little tuck back.

11:03Kept in play brilliantly on the far side.

11:05Four to A-man.

11:08Amrabat.

11:08You have a little pocket.

11:09Delivers toward the back post.

11:12Pandor scrambling.

11:14The flag is raised.

11:15For offside.

11:16And that's it.

11:17Sent back a few yards.

11:21This pass has gone astray.

11:22Will be tidied up.

11:24Unai.

11:28Saladin to Saibari.

11:30Danger ball.

11:30Back post.

11:35Amrabat again.

11:37Chipped towards the far side.

11:39Masraoui.

11:39Controls beautifully.

11:40Controls beautifully.

11:41Square ball.

11:42And there it is.

11:46Not to be denied.

11:47The top scorer and qualifying scores.

11:50The opening goal of the Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025.

11:56Brahim Diaz steps up and is counted on home soil.

12:06Ten minutes into the second half.

12:07Deadlock broken.

12:09And Brahim Diaz has the all-important goal.

12:12Seven goals in just four qualifying matches.

12:15He's got one in his first.

12:19Here.

12:20To start the tournament.

12:30Now.

12:30The game.

12:31They meet in five days' time at this venue.

12:36Three goals in 12 matches between them.

12:40This one turned away.

12:45Rafiki Saeed comes away with it.

12:47Nothing wrong.

12:48Referee is waiting.

12:49Rafiki Saeed.

12:51Closed down quickly.

12:52Saeed denied by Yassid Bono.

12:55His first real involvement in the game.

12:58And it's too denied.

12:59I think he said what would have been a sensational equalizer.

13:02And he sent the continent to light in 2025.

13:10From the set piece.

13:12Toward the back post.

13:13Might land in space.

13:15Could still be steered home here.

13:17Morocco.

13:17Everybody scrambling and eventually.

13:20Knocked to safety.

13:29Into space.

13:33Creates space.

13:34Wonderfully, wonderfully saved from Pandora.

13:36Double save.

13:38From the 24-year-old.

13:43Morocco agonizingly close to claiming a cushion goal.

13:46Rahimi with a touch inside the area.

13:50Claims it back.

13:51But for the second time.

13:53Toibiu.

14:02Then Ayubelkabi.

14:04Now of Olympiakos.

14:06Beautiful pass.

14:08Wonderfully weighted.

14:09Turn is on.

14:10Oh, that is a disappointing attempt to pick out a teammate from.

14:25Long range.

14:26What a look.

14:36Changawa.

14:38A surprised a few.

14:39Oh, more than one occasion.

14:41Turn back towards Pandora.

14:45Pura.

14:47Back with a captain.

14:49Free kick Komoros.

14:56It was a glimmer of hope.

15:03Ezozuli.

15:04Chips that ball back in dangerously.

15:08Not cleared.

15:09Brian Diaz drills the ball in.

15:10But good positioning from Pandora sees him deny.

15:14Extends the pass to his captain.

15:16Changawa.

15:20Come back.

15:20So, Bardi.

15:24They had to help out.

15:25Defensively.

15:40Missile sounds.

15:41The offside flag.

15:48Ezozuli.

15:49Straight down the centre now.

15:53Numbers there for Morocco to take advantage.

15:55Saladin.

15:56Oh, that is sensational.

16:00That is glorious.

16:05The rain is falling down.

16:10But he would not be denied the most spectacular finish.

16:14Ayob Elgabi.

16:15In CAF competitions continues to impress.

16:24Morocco opened the scoring through Brahim Diaz.

16:27Calm, composed, wonderful.

16:30But the flashy flamboyance of Ayob Elgabi has stepped up.

16:36And despite the driving rain,

16:40Elgabi delivers a stunner.

16:42He's positioning always on point.

16:46He's finishing exquisite.

16:49But the reliable scorer, who knows where the net is,

16:55has just delivered a collector's item of a goal.

16:57A couple of changes to come, including the goal scorer, making way for Yusuf Neseri.

17:05Done, goal scored.

17:11Tournament started.

17:12Early after the injury to Romain Saiz.

17:26Halfway line.

17:26Comoros have it back.

17:27Lovely little flick with the heel.

17:31Creative Yassin Buran feeds the ball into a danger area.

17:36Comoros, despite his double save and various other heroics.

17:40Morocco have managed to find the back of the net twice.

17:46And now seem well set to get their tournament.

17:57Yassin Buran.

18:01Ezzel Zouli laid him back and then absolutely drilled with Venom again,

18:05but brilliantly denied by Pandor.

18:09And Neseri looking for something special.

18:14Bilal Elhanous, Ezzel Zouli.

18:21And that'll roll out.

18:24Out for the goal kick.

18:27Picked up.

18:32And Neseri.

18:35Gets it fiercely.

18:37Pandor again.

18:38Wonderful route.

18:40And he's replaced by Maulida Mizian.

18:45Based in Saudi Arabia with Al-Holoud.

18:49Frustration in the technical area from Maulida Droghagui.

19:00Space opening up.

19:02Oh, so nearly on his way.

19:03And Neseri again seeking space, but it's if not the overall performance will set the tone

19:14for this electrifying tournament.

19:18Morocco buzzing right now.

19:19Into the final five minutes we go.

19:23And we're only in the first game of Fort 52.

19:33Turned away.

19:34Another corner to Morocco.

19:35And they have over 500 of them in the game.

19:41But it's not gone all their own way.

19:43A chance to finish it here.

19:46And the defender El-Yamik fires it over the crossbar.

19:49And the men's under-20 team won the World Cup in Chile very recently.

19:58Chance for Comoros.

20:01In behind the defensive line.

20:03Soleimani with a lovely delivery.

20:06Despite a lunge and a leap, he had unable to direct that goal bound.

20:11Soleimani clips.

20:12Amrabad retreats.

20:13Amrabad retreats.

20:14Free kick Comoros.

20:27Long range, but high.

20:33Well, that ball will trickle out of play on the near side.

20:37Maybe one final throw in to come.

20:43Referee says that's where he will end it.

20:49And it's a winning start for the host as Morocco opened the Africa Cup of Nations.
