Morocco Thrashes Central African Republic 5-0, but Coach Regragui Sees Room for Improvement

While the Moroccan coach said he was satisfied with the overall performance, he did not fail to criticize the technical errors made by his players in the second half. "I saw a lot of positive things today, but in the second half, many technical errors appeared," he said after the match. According to him, the comfortable lead acquired at half-time (4-0) probably disrupted the concentration of some, their minds already turned to their clubs.

Regragui also took the opportunity to praise the performance of Youssef Belammari and Jamal Harkass, who were brought into the game during this match. "It was the right time to give Harkass and Belammari the opportunity, and they were serious and showed good integration with the group. I’m happy with them, because they showed their ability to bring added value," said the coach.

With this victory, Morocco consolidates its first place in the Group B standings, ahead of Gabon (4 points), the Central African Republic (3 points) and Lesotho (1 point). The return match is scheduled for next Tuesday at the same stadium in Oujda, where many supporters had come to support their team.
