Morocco secures CHAN quarterfinal spot with 3-1 win over Zambia
Thursday 14 August 2025 - 17:04

Morocco booked its ticket to the quarterfinals of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) after a 3-1 victory over Zambia on Thursday at Nairobi’s Moi Sports Centre , Kasarani.

The decisive group-stage clash left no margin for error, with both sides needing a win to stay alive. Morocco took control despite a wasteful first half, finally breaking the deadlock through Rabie Hrimat in stoppage time.

Sektioui’s men doubled their lead in the 67th minute with Lamlioui’s strike, before Zambia responded quickly as Phiri scored at the 70th.

 In the dying minutes, Bougrine sealed Morocco’s qualification with a goal in the fifth minute of added time.

Despite early imprecision, the Atlas Lions pressed high, exploited the flanks, and showed resilience when challenged by a determined Zambian defense. 

The win ensures Morocco advances from Group A, while Zambia’s campaign comes to an end.
