The Moroccan Olympic football team achieved a significant accomplishment by qualifying for the quarter-finals of the football competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, following their impressive 3-0 victory over their Iraqi counterparts in the final round of the group stage.
The Atlas Lions Cubs started the match strongly, with Amir Richardson opening the scoring in the 19th minute from a cross by captain Achraf Hakimi. Soufiane Rahimi quickly added the second goal in the 28th minute, before Abde Ezzalzouli sealed the victory with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area in the 36th minute.
The first half witnessed clear Moroccan dominance, with a notable performance by Ilias Akhomach on the right wing, thanks to his technical skills and speed. Rahimi continued his brilliance by scoring his fourth goal in the tournament, becoming one of the top scorers in the competition.
With this win, the Moroccan team topped Group B with 6 points, securing a match against the French team in the quarter-finals in what promises to be an exciting encounter, especially as it reminds of the 2022 World Cup semi-final match between the two countries.
It’s worth noting that this victory came after a surprising loss to Ukraine (1-2) in the previous match, reflecting the Moroccan team’s ability to recover and come back strongly in crucial moments.
Moroccan fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming quarter-final match, hoping to continue the journey towards an Olympic medal.
