Morocco Begin 2021 AFCON Quest With Win Against Ghana

 

Forward Sofiane Boufal scored in the 83rd minute to hand the Atlas Lions their first win at the biennial football tournament in Cameroon.

The Moroccans dominated much of the Group C encounter but could not find a way through. But Boufal, the Angers man, pounced onto a loose ball and fired his nation into the lead. The North Africans were able to hold on for the rest of the game.

With the win, Morocco now sit top of the group pending the outcome of the game between Gabon and Comoros
