Continuing their winning streak, the Moroccan national under-23 team achieved another win by defeating the Congolese national team 1-0.

The match took place at the Prince Moulay Abdallah Sports Complex in Rabat as part of the third round of the first group in the African Cup for nations under 23 years old.

Coach Issam Al-Shari’i opted for a reserve lineup in this game, aiming to assess the readiness of the substitute players and provide some rest to the key team members.

From the outset, the Moroccan national team exhibited strong determination, pressing relentlessly towards the opponent’s goal in search of an early breakthrough.

It was Younes Taha who delivered the decisive blow, with a strike from outside the penalty area that found its mark in the back of the net.

Throughout the match, the Moroccan team maintained complete control, creating several scoring opportunities.

On the other hand, the Congolese team adopted a defensive approach and relied heavily on counter-attacks.

The Moroccan Olympic team has already secured a spot in the semifinals of the African Cup, accumulating an impressive 9 points from three consecutive victories.

In their opening match, the Moroccan U-23 team defeated Guinea with a score of 2-1, followed by a convincing 5-1 win over Ghana in their second encounter.
