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, wing back who is not getting a run out from the
00:39three that we knew were just coming back from slight knocks.
00:44Not injury, but just, you know, really just coming back from a little bit of movement.
00:50That's a good little run off the left-hand side and a chance there.
00:52Elkanusi gets the ball back across.
00:54It's gone high over the top.
00:56It's been full and well-controlled and a chance there for Brahim Diaz, but his shot gets blocked.
01:02Watch out for him.
01:03The big guy with 20 on his back.
01:05Chance for her.
01:06Chance for her.
01:07Well, there's...
01:08It's whipped over her.
01:10Spending time over here in South Africa.
01:12Here's the resulting corner.
01:13Front post.
01:14There was someone there.
01:15Lots of players queuing up.
01:16Need to get rid of it.
01:18Seibari can't get on the end of it.
01:19Finally is headed away.
01:20He collected just on the outside of the panel.
01:22It was Brahim Diaz.
01:23Looked like it came off his arm.
01:25The referee doesn't say anything.
01:26It's lofted high over the top.
01:29Right foot, sorry.
01:31And there it is.
01:32Headed away at the far post.
01:33Goalkeepers have fallen down to the ground.
01:35They managed to get the ball back.
01:37It's a chance to try and go on a little bit of a sneaky, weaving move there.
01:41Finally, the ball cleared.
01:43He's scored a few of his goals.
01:44As they've split the defense here.
01:45Nicely done.
01:46Brought back.
01:47And that's been cut out.
01:48Oh, it's another chance.
01:49Seibari just trying to jump and pounce on the loose ball.
01:53It's collected here by Tahaline.
01:55Collected there by Unai.
01:57Gets the ball back.
01:58There's a chance to...
01:59It's a little bit too close for comfort.
02:02Brahim Diaz.
02:02Brahim Diaz puts it out to the right-hand side.
02:05It's been a hit across there by Eloadi.
02:08And, um...
02:11Nicely done.
02:12Nicely done.
02:13A firm strike there.
02:15Lots of special braces when he was very young.
02:18It's been picked up here by Unai.
02:20He lost the ball over.
02:21Oh, there's Brahim Diaz.
02:22For a post.
02:23Well, it's gone wide.
02:24That was a golden opportunity for Zakaria Eloadi.
02:27See what Bilal El-Khanous can do from here with his right foot.
02:31Drops it into the penalty box.
02:33It's just flying past the left post there.
02:36And you consider Issa Diop coming up.
02:39Oh, Mazraoui battling for the ball.
02:41Brahim Diaz.
02:42Diaz.
02:42Diaz with an attempt to try and touch the ball through.
02:45It's been picked up here.
02:46Here's Unai.
02:46Unai running out of a little bit of trouble.
02:48There's Mazraoui over the right-hand side.
02:50Gets seed up.
02:50Pulls it back.
02:51There's a shot coming in.
02:52It's gone high for Unai.
02:54That should have been drilled in.
02:57Everything he does is very calm and collected.
02:59Defensively astute.
03:01Timing good.
03:02Physical.
03:04And smart.
03:06And excellent at tidying everything up.
03:17There's the through ball nicely down.
03:20Oh, it's been picked up.
03:20It's straight in the back of the net.
03:22Brahim Diaz gets the goal for Morocco.
03:25One goal to nil in the last minute of the first half.
03:32And a goal that really does hurt the crocodiles of Lesotho.
03:37Everything was set up for them to go into the changing rooms with goalless here in Bloemfontein.
03:54And another goal for Brahim Diaz.
03:58And another goal for Brahim Diaz.
03:58Unstoppable.
04:00Let's have a look at this again.
04:01That was the move there.
04:04Wonderful through ball.
04:05All right.
04:06Just gets knocked into his path by Makwanazi.
04:09And Kwanazi.
04:11That left foot.
04:12And it's there that it's just slotted in.
04:14Left-footed strike directly into the goal.
04:16Brahim Diaz score.
04:24And Wadi coming across and just helping out in defense.
04:28And that's exactly what you want him to do.
04:34And the last few seconds of the first half.
04:56And that's the halftime whistle here in Bloemfontein for this Group A class.
05:04A qualifier for next year's Total Energy's Camp Africa Cup of Nations is Lesotho 0, Morocco 1.
05:14Back early on in the second half.
05:17Bob Mofoso is the man in charge.
05:19And Mohamed Wahby is the man who has helped his team get into the driving seat.
05:26But they need to pull up their socks and go in search of an equalizer.
05:30Up all staying on the right side of the paint.
05:34Finally going out.
05:36Throw in for Mazrawi.
05:39Back to the very solid 8-bull, 20 years of age.
05:43Can't pour enough praise in his direction.
05:47against storming game.
05:49His isadjob of Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
06:06Of course, this window is produced two games each for the nations seeking qualification.
06:21Just not messing around, getting the ball back up into enemy territory as quickly as possible.
06:25It does get picks up there once to Ghanu.
06:28Now he has been super effective in that attacking midfield role.
06:35Constantly taking the pass, constantly shifting the ball around, dealing with pressure.
06:47All comes down to Masraoui. The flag's gone up for offside.
07:21Good ball to Unai. Unai with a long-range shot.
07:25Well, it's far too high.
07:30A long-range shot this time high.
07:34Nice pass to Al-Khanous. Here he is.
07:40Azedino Nahi.
07:41It's for support with Masraoui coming towards him.
07:46Slowly passing the ball around.
07:48Not being...
07:50They're not jumping out of position, but they are being given quite a lot of space, Morocco, to make those
07:56passes.
07:57That's a good ball.
07:58There's a shot coming in. It's a...
08:02Nahimi.
08:03Score of the second goal.
08:05Giving the ball away.
08:06This is dangerous.
08:07Sebari.
08:09Pushes it too far.
08:11It's...
08:12Hampton by Mourane.
08:14Not a...
08:18Well, it's lofted over the top.
08:19And why not a chance for a shot?
08:21But it didn't happen.
08:22Then coming across is the ever-present 20-year-old Ayd Budlal.
08:27And he sleeves it out in a bit of space.
08:29Well, that's a good through ball.
08:30Can he get himself free?
08:32He has bounced perfectly there for El-Wadi to clear it.
08:36A little bit of extra luck there.
08:37And that could have seen him.
08:42Giving the ball away again.
08:44And then they find it back in their path.
08:46Oh, now he's setting up Rahimi.
08:49Ball over to the left-hand side.
08:50It's not pinpoint accuracy.
08:53And Sebari couldn't get there.
08:55Well, look.
08:55There's a poor clearance there for Mourane.
08:57And they've given the ball back to the Atlas Lions again.
09:00There's Azuli.
09:01It's been picked up here.
09:02Unahi.
09:02Unahi.
09:03Unahi!
09:04With a shot that's scooped up easily by Mourane.
09:11A little back flick into his path.
09:13Here he is.
09:13There's Azuli.
09:19Zebari.
09:20Nice ball, but the first touch letting him down.
09:24And Lesotho with a chance to try and get themselves
09:29out of this
09:33defensive conundrum.
09:37Squared ball to Mafatle.
09:46Good work from Unahi.
09:48There's the lofted ball over the top.
09:50Rahimi collects.
09:51He's got an option with Zebari.
09:52Looks up, scanning all the way.
09:54There's the ball.
09:54This pass back.
09:55What a great goal that is.
09:57Unahi!
10:01And another pass back from this Moroccan.
10:06Rahimi finding that man.
10:08El-Satine Unahi.
10:10Who slots it into the corner
10:12to make it two goals to nil.
10:16And Mourane, the captain,
10:19unable to get near it.
10:23That's what they do, Morocco.
10:24That's how they play.
10:28And 56 matches played.
10:30That was the lofted ball over the top.
10:32To Sofiano Rahimi.
10:33He's already looking up.
10:34He knows exactly where it's going to go.
10:37And it's the open inside foot, right foot.
10:40Because he's just placed it into the corner
10:43to be the goalkeeper with force.
10:45It's a perfect finish.
10:47And a great cool hile.
10:50Into the penalty box.
10:52Anybody with a header?
10:53That wasn't a bad option, was it?
10:55Mkawanza.
10:55That's nicely done.
10:57Well, we're getting a serious shot.
10:59They just want to see a shot.
11:01Has been picked up.
11:02Great work there from Kulihile.
11:04Long ring shot coming in.
11:05Brilliant effort.
11:07It really was.
11:10Especially in defense.
11:11That's the final whistle.
11:12And it is Morocco
11:14who now make it two wins from two.
11:17The top team in Africa
11:19with back-to-back victories.
