Moroccan National Team Opens Its Arab Cup Journey with a Victory over Comoros
The Moroccan national team began its journey in the Arab Cup, held in Qatar, with a deserved victory over the Comoros team by three goals to one, in a match where the “Lions” showed a strong face from the very first minutes in the opening round of the group stage.
The Moroccan team marked a perfect start by scoring the opening goal in the fifth minute through a precise header that hit the left post before settling inside the net, giving the national players an early lead. Only minutes later, Tarik Tissoudali increased the score with a powerful shot that found the net in the 11th minute, consolidating Moroccan control over the first half.
Despite Comoros' attempts to absorb the pressure and get into the rhythm of the match through ball exchanges and advancing towards Moroccan areas, goalkeeper Salah Eddine Shohab remained unthreatened. Before the end of the first half, Karim El Berkaoui deepened the gap with a third goal in the 45+5 minute following a well-organized attack finished with a skillful header.
In the second half, Comoros pushed all their lines forward in attack and managed to reduce the deficit with an own goal by Mohamed Boulksout in the 56th minute. Despite the continuous pressure from the opponent, the Moroccan team remained composed, with some counter-attacking attempts that did not change the match result.
With this win, the Moroccan team raised its points to 3, topping the group, awaiting the highly anticipated match between Oman and Saudi Arabia later today.
