They are the scorers of the two goals of the match.

"The Lions of Morocco overturn the Belgian devils with a historic double," headlines Al-Sharq Al-Awsat. The newspaper saluted the performances of Walid Regragui’s protégés: "Striker Sabiri scored a superb goal on a free kick in the 73rd minute before Zakaria AbouKhlal increased the score in stoppage time with a magnificent close-range shot, after a decisive pass from the excellent Hakim Ziyech." And to note that the Atlas Lions took their revenge on Sunday for their defeat against their Belgian counterparts (0-1) during the 1994 World Cup.
