The match was decided by the Real Madrid star, who scored the only goal.

Spanish newspapers focused on the crucial role that Díaz has come to play within the ranks of the "Atlas Lions," emphasizing that he has taken on the role of the leading star in this edition of the continental tournament.

They considered him the playmaker and the beating heart of the Moroccan national team, after he succeeded with a powerful shot in breaking through the Tanzanian defensive block and shattering the goalkeeper's resistance.

On its part, the newspaper "AS" went even further, describing Díaz as the "invincible" player, noting that he entered the tournament under the pressure of expectations due to his technical status, but he quickly established himself as the leading star and problem solver, becoming one of the most prominent stars of the Africa Cup of Nations and its top scorer so far.

The newspaper confirmed that Ibrahim Diaz, who had been questioned in his previous appearances with the national team, has now become an indispensable player and a challenging figure for opponents to reckon with, while Moroccan fans look forward to his continued brilliance in the upcoming quarter-final match against Cameroon.
