The excellent performance of the player, Mbark Boussoufa, against the South African team, earned him the title of "Man of the Match" by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The player allowed Morocco to win against their opponent, scoring the only goal of the match in the final seconds of the last group D match. Result for the "Atlas Lions": three points and the top spot in the Group, ahead of Côte d’Ivoire (also qualified), South Africa and Namibia.
