The Moroccan national football team achieved a well-deserved victory over Tanzania, winning 2-0 in the match held today at the Chérifian Stadium in Oujda, as part of the sixth round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The first half saw a clear territorial dominance from the “Atlas Lions,” who pressed hard to reach the Tanzanian net. However, haste and occasional lack of focus prevented them from scoring. Despite some attempts from the visiting team, Tanzania did not pose a significant threat to Yassine Bounou’s goal, and the first half ended in a 0-0 draw.
In the second half, continued Moroccan pressure resulted in the opening goal in the 51st minute by Nayef Aguerd. Then, in the 58th minute, Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz doubled the lead with a penalty, giving the “Lions” a comfortable advantage.
With this victory, the Moroccan national team strengthened its position at the top of Group E with 15 points, distancing itself from its closest challengers, Niger and Tanzania, both of which share second place with 6 points each. Zambia remains in fourth place with 3 points, while Congo occupies the bottom of the table with no points.
In a related context, the Moroccan players expressed their great happiness with the victory, confirming that the match was not easy and that they faced many challenges on the field.
Despite the win, the players emphasized the need to continue working hard in training and addressing the mistakes that appeared at certain points during the match. They assured that they would continue to improve their performance, focus on correcting negative aspects, and strive for success in upcoming matches to move steadily toward their goals in the qualifiers.
