Morocco Demonstrate Why It's the Favorite in AFCON 2023 Debut
Following a historic World Cup for an African team and the best performance in Moroccan history in World Cups, Morocco is now aiming high: to be the Kings of Africa by winning AFCON 2023. They started their journey against Tanzania, who aspires to be the giant killer.
With a starting eleven under Regragui's guidance, filled with stars in each position – Hakimi in defense, a midfield featuring Amrabat and Ounahi, and an offensive trident with Abde-En Nesyri-Ziyech – Tanzania found themselves trailing 1-0 in the first half.
However, Miroshi's expulsion in the 70th minute opened up the offensive for Morocco. In just four minutes, they scored two goals, sealing the match with a 3-0 victory. Morocco starts their AFCON 2023 campaign on a high note, remaining the sole leader in Group F.
