Morocco and Nigeria Resort to Penalty Shootout After Goalless Draw
Wednesday 14-01-2026
The extra time in the match between the Moroccan national team and their Nigerian counterparts ended in a goalless draw (0-0). The game, held at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, was part of the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final.

The goalless draw continued throughout the extra time periods, amid ongoing tactical caution and defensive discipline from both sides, with the pace of the game slowing compared to regular time due to physical fatigue and heightened concentration.

The Moroccan national team tried to capitalize on their home advantage and the support of the crowd to break through the Nigerian defense, but a lack of effectiveness in front of the goal prevented their attempts from being converted into goals.

On the other hand, the Nigerian team continued to rely on tight defensive positioning and counterattacks, but they too failed to make a difference.

With both teams failing to decide the outcome after 120 minutes of play, they resorted to a penalty shootout to determine who would advance to the final match, amid an atmosphere charged with excitement and anticipation in the stands of Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium.
