00:12Morocco 2025. Diaz wanted the return ball, Rahimi, little nutmeg, through the leg, breaks into the
00:1818-yard area. Picked up by Diaz, Brahim Diaz, seeking a way through, and then seeking a way
00:28passed, and that's a penalty.
00:41And in 2018, Comoros secured a 2-all draw against Morocco. But this is for Morocco to take the
00:50lead. Rahimi strikes, but it's saved. Happy to get back on his feet immediately. This is
00:56a penalty, though. Dramatic moment for Yannick Pandor, the 24-year-old goalkeeper. They're
01:04controlling the game, as Comoros frustrates the hosts. Here's the chance. Nothing wrongs,

02:18that is sensational! That is glorious! The rain is falling down.
02:29But he would not be denied the most spectacular finish. Ayobel Gabi, in CAF competitions, continues
02:41to impress. Morocco opened the scoring through... Maybe one final throw in to come. Referee says
02:54that's where he will end it.
02:55That's where he will end it.
02:56That's where he will end it.
