00:01What happens here, and Morocco with the ball at their feet to get this Group A encounter going.
00:12Uboadi will be very busy in the midfield.
00:18Already had a very interesting start to the season with Manchester City.
00:28Just showing what he's capable of doing in the Premier League.
00:35Very cool under pressure, very calm and collected.
00:39The former Lille player, he's Serdiob.
00:45It's Aguad.
00:49Uboadi.
00:58Back across to Diop.
01:02Ghissim.
01:03Yassine Ghissim.
01:05Just in Morocco.
01:10Find it in many, many different countries around the world, but this is nicely done.
01:15Ghissim gets the ball across.
01:17There's a chance here.
01:18As Unahi gets the ball over.
01:20There's the attempted shot there.
01:23And Zabiri looking up to see if the referee would react following a hearty challenge coming his way.
01:33And this is Gampon on the attack here.
01:35Just diffused quite swiftly.
01:38Now to the left-hand side.
01:39There's a decent ball coming through.
01:41Always been picked up.
01:42A little lucky deflection.
01:43Need to get a shot in.
01:45It's been picked up.
01:46Can he get the pass to the right player?
01:47It's been left for the drive coming through.
01:50And Kanga came through and nearly made great contact with that.
01:54But a nice little attacking moment there for Gabon.
01:58But now they've lost possession with Zabiri getting the ball down to the left-hand side.
02:02Picked up by Azelzuli.
02:04Waits for support.
02:04Who's he got?
02:05He's going to go himself.
02:06Trying to deal with Anthony Oyono.
02:09He's put on the right foot.
02:10The shot comes in.
02:11It's gone wide.
02:12Nice effort there indeed.
02:13And a great scoring opportunity for Unahi.
02:17Unahi.
02:18And there's the shot that comes through.
02:20But it's not coming around enough.
02:23Couldn't quite get that little effect on it.
02:26Wrap that right foot around it so it curls into the corner.
02:30Masraoui once again.
02:32The Manchester United man.
02:35Just below Ipswich in the Premier League in 12th position.
02:39Five points so far from five games.
02:42Not ideal.
02:43That's a nice little touch.
02:45And Unahi.
02:46Unahi trying to put it on his right foot.
02:48There's a kick and a shot going wide at the target.
02:52Um...
02:54Nicely done.
03:22Nicely done.
03:23Al-Amanoum to get his hands to it.
03:25Because that could have just fallen perfectly.
03:30He's got the skill set.
03:32Loves the...
03:33Loves the one-on-one.
03:35There's Al-Zulli keeping the ball protected.
03:37Look at his...
03:38Look at the footwork.
03:39Look at the skills.
03:41Babica comes back to, uh...
03:43Help his teammates.
03:46There's Agüed.
03:48Back over to the left-hand side.
03:52Masraoui.
03:52Oh, lovely pass.
03:53That's nicely done.
03:55Is Unahi once again set up.
03:58Masraoui.
03:59Unahi.
04:00Goes on a dance.
04:01Get the shot in!
04:02Oh, wow!
04:04Sensational work there.
04:06That right foot.
04:07Just couldn't keep it down.
04:10Oh!
04:11Shuddering the crossbar.
04:29I think three of those four shots have been, uh...
04:34Striked by Unahi.
04:41I think three of those four shots have been, uh...
04:48That's a decent ball.
04:49That really is.
04:50The flank stays down.
04:51And a chance here.
04:52Here's Ifag.
04:53Ifag.
04:53Oh, he's got a little bit of pace about him.
04:55Gets the ball back.
04:56It's, uh...
04:56Found.
04:57Kanga.
04:57Kanga!
04:58It's a drive straight at that man.
05:00Bono didn't really have...
05:03Before the defenders could react,
05:05He'd already knocked it straight into the penalty box.
05:10And Gabon organized well at the back so far.
05:13As the ball has come across.
05:16Oh, a little touch there.
05:17Mama can't do anything with it.
05:19It's been collected by Aguero over on that far side.
05:23Ten more minutes left in the first half.
05:25Masraoui.
05:25An entertaining game here in Group A for this, uh...
05:29Fire, Masraoui!
05:30Oh, he's flew underneath Aminoum.
05:35And there is the goal.
05:36It's his third goal for his country.
05:39But Masraoui is the man of the moment.
05:44A rifle shot and it whizzed underneath Jean-Noel Aminoum,
05:49who will be held responsible for not getting down and stopping that.
05:58But just look at this.
06:00Gets past his man, puts it on that right foot.
06:02It all opens up.
06:03How on earth he didn't stop that?
06:06Aminoum, I really don't know.
06:11Took a little bounce there,
06:13and I think that that's what probably caught him out.
06:17He's still got to stop that because he saw it coming.
06:20He hit it with some pace.
06:22Rifled it through.
06:24Yeah, he got his hand to it as well.
06:26That should have been stopped.
06:32Doesn't score goals very often.
06:37So, all credits.
06:45The Algerian midfielder, Kebale, scoring a fabulous goal in that victory.
06:55Boadi, Diop, Gassim.
07:03Lovely through ball back to Boadi.
07:10He's going to take on his man, he's going to take on his man, Oyono.
07:14Will he get past his man?
07:15There he's turned him inside and out, going down towards the byline.
07:18Can he get the ball back?
07:18Back is so superbly brought back into the path of Eli Niaoui, and he couldn't quite stab it in.
07:27Delightful piece of play.
07:29And just look at the ball that comes back, right foot instead of the left, I'm sorry, you've got to
07:34switch your foot.
07:36If he'd have used his left, that would have gone straight in, because he didn't open up that right foot
07:44enough.
07:47Quite simply, perfect, but not the case.
07:51Well, the half-time whistle has been blown here at the Prince Mule Abdelas Stadium in Rabat.
07:57And that's the man who's separated these two teams.
08:00It's Morocco 1, Gabon 0.
08:14With Gabon getting the ball rolling, over to the left-hand side, Jackie Comi, to Kanga, back to Michel Umbula.
08:34Masoliniu, Mbula, Ecomi.
08:47Fitting into the squad quite well.
08:52Nama.
08:55Lovely touch to Kanga.
08:59Calmly constructing.
09:02Oh, it's a very deep ball there to try and throw it down into the corner towards Bebica.
09:12Mons de la wey.
09:37Watch when it splinters, there's the ball coming over.
09:40Oh, what a great shot.
09:42What a save as well.
09:43Aguad.
09:44He really struck that so, so well, but Anima Nama was...
09:51You know, I love the wizardry that players have when they can play with both feet.
09:56I just had a couple of moments where I'm just looking at players and thinking, should have shot with their
10:01right foot or their left foot, or he should have put it on the left.
10:04Players who can play with both feet, for me, are the best.
10:24Watch when it splinters, there's the ball coming over.
10:27Oh, what a great shot.
10:28What a save as well, Aguad.
10:31He really struck that so, so well, but Anima Nama was, well, brilliant there with the way that he managed
10:38to prevent that from going in.
10:40And then the clearance came.
10:43Snapshot from Nayef Aguad.
10:48Here's Ghassim getting the ball back.
10:50He's...
10:53Mboula.
10:56Oh, he's been picked up, poached there by Bouadi.
10:59Bouadi, Bouadi goes down.
11:00Free kick on the edge of the penalty box.
11:03Not going to get a penalty.
11:04You can see.
11:09Louanga moving into a different position on the right-hand side, switching flanks.
11:14Just to change things around a little bit.
11:16You've got to try and catch out your opponents, Kanga.
11:23Picked up by Mboula.
11:32Constantly move.
11:34The ball constantly move around.
11:36Look for the pass.
11:38If you want to deal with Morocco, they don't move out of shape.
11:41That's a great ball.
11:42Oh, that could have been a stunning volley.
11:44That really could have from Bouanga.
11:46It was set up perfectly.
11:53Two Domas Alignos on the pitch now.
11:56Of course, with Alcain Jonathan Domasolino of Bourgogne-Bress.
12:03The 20-year-old centre-back.
12:13Picked up on the right-hand side.
12:15Danger coming their way.
12:16It's been picked up.
12:17It's just not low enough to spook Amun-Uma.
12:23Alcain O'Nahit.
12:24They haven't been out of the game.
12:26It's not.
12:27They can be very proud of their performance so far.
12:30There's still a chance for them to try and do something.
12:33They get a goal back and they get themselves a point.
12:36Well kept in there.
12:38Oh, nicely played by Unahit.
12:42Mouzari gets flung to the ground.
12:45Here's Zalazouli has been set up.
12:51And the long ball.
12:52But Dennis Bouanga can't get there first.
12:54He wins that.
12:55That's brilliantly won.
12:56Watch out for Babica.
12:57Babica's going to try and dart away.
13:00But when he's there, there's the acceleration.
13:03And he just, there's no foul.
13:05He just literally.
13:23There's a delivery coming in.
13:25Punched away there.
13:28Oh, there's a chance for a break.
13:29Look at Dennis Bouanga down that left-hand side.
13:32And watch out for Babica.
13:33Babica, he still needs to get himself into a good position.
13:36Bouanga, he's got the overlap.
13:37He's got a chance.
13:38Can he put on his left foot?
13:39Stop!
13:39Coming in!
13:40Brilliant drive.
13:41Stopped there by that man, Yassine Bounau.
13:44Comes to the rescue.
13:50And collected.
13:52And taken forward.
13:54As they go on the attack once again.
13:57Wazan getting involved.
14:02A little bit frustrated that he didn't get that pass and the quick counter-attack.
14:08But it wasn't for him.
14:09Might get it this time.
14:10Now he's left frustrated another time.
14:14Trying to get himself in front of Mazraoui.
14:16He's been picked up here by Okomi.
14:18Okomi.
14:18There's the delivery!
14:19It's a good header as well.
14:21And driven straight into the goalkeeper by Afarj.
14:27And Bounau.
14:37Free kick for Morocco.
14:40As they see goal number two in this group A.
14:44There's the shot coming in.
14:45Well, it was hit firmly.
14:47It's a fine effort indeed.
14:53Okomash is the Moroccan team.
14:55And what players they've got to choose from.
15:00Pretty scary, in fact.
15:11Wazan, of course, plays for Ajax.
15:22We are now getting the ball back to Okomi.
15:26Getting the ball back to the goalkeeper as well.
15:28Amanom.
15:41He's coming.
15:44Here comes.
15:44Wrexham.
15:45Player.
15:46Trying to shake off.
15:48Mammar.
15:51Delivery comes in.
15:52It's not bad!
15:52There's the header!
15:53can't get on the end of it it was there for him to take if Aj should have really
15:59steered that in past the goalkeeper was in there he's a way offside but still
16:05you need to show what you're capable of doing I did hesitate but still
16:29good ball out wide for El Canoos collected by Wazan Wazan gets the ball across goal number two
16:38look at that for a slick finish Sofiane Rahimi
16:48well the Ajax Amsterdam forward with a wonderful pullback this time
16:55it's met by the magician and Rahimi is the man
17:04and that was a beautiful strike into there it is Wazan down to El Canoos and El Canoos
17:12looks up straight back to Rahimi who right comes straight in to meet and greet and slotted in
17:20and that is a well-worked goal for Morocco two goals to nil
