Morocco secured a 2–0 victory over Tunisia in a friendly match on Friday.

 From the outset, Walid Regragui’s men showed strong offensive intent, with early chances from Ismail Saibari and a revitalized Azzedine Ounahi.

 Morocco dominated the first 30 minutes, keeping Tunisia on the defensive, though the first half ended goalless, revealing a lack of collective fluidity among the Atlas Lions.

The second half saw Morocco maintain pressure, but Tunisia tightened its defense and kept the game well under control. 

Achraf Hakimi missed a promising free-kick in the 66th minute, while Soufiane Rahimi also failed to capitalize on a scoring opportunity.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 80th minute by Hakimi, who continues to shine both for the national team and in European competition. In stoppage time, Ayoub El Kaabi sealed the win with a second goal in the 90+2 minute, assisted by Marouane Sannadi.

With this morale-boosting win, Morocco turns its attention to its next friendly fixture against Benin, scheduled for Monday, June 9. 

The match provided a valuable test ahead of upcoming competitive engagements for Regragui’s squad.
