Morocco Dominates Liberia 3-0 in Crucial Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier

The Moroccan team largely dominated the Liberian team, 3-0, in a decisive match held on Tuesday at the Adrar stadium. This match, part of the sixth round of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) qualifiers, saw the Atlas Lions dominate the game almost from start to finish.

On the field, the Moroccan selection put pressure from the start of the match. The Liberians, for their part, opted for quick counter-attacks, trying to destabilize the Moroccan goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou. Their efforts, however, remained in vain.

Moroccan perseverance finally paid off. Despite a robust defensive game from Liberia, centered around striker William Jebor, the end of the first half was marked by a goal from Amine Harit, giving Morocco the advantage. The tension intensified at the start of the second half, with an almost successful attempt by Jebor, thwarted by an excellent Bounou.

As the game progressed, it was with a very nice penalty that Ayoub El Kaabi increased the score in the 58th minute. Despite a persistent counter-attack strategy, the Liberian team lacked finishing, allowing Morocco to dominate. In the final moments, a third goal signed by Amine Adli sealed the victory, propelling Morocco to the top of the group with nine points.
