Rabat hosts a XXL shock: Morocco vs Cameroon

Morocco’s opponent is now known. A few hours after the qualification of Walid Regragui’s men, Cameroon did the job on the pitch of the Ville stadium in Rabat. In a match that was initially closed and tense, the tide turned at the end of the first half. While South Africa thought they had taken the lead through Lyle Foster, an offside call by the referee kept the two teams level. A warning shot that woke up the Cameroonians: just before the break, Junior Tchamadeu opened the scoring, taking advantage of a deflected ball to liberate his side.

The return from the locker rooms was fatal to the "Bafana Bafana". As soon as the match resumed, Christian Covani concluded a lightning counter-attack with an unstoppable header, doubling Cameroon’s lead. Despite a late consolation goal in the 78th minute, South Africa never managed to catch up, dominated by the realism and physical power of their opponent.

This victory (2-1) offers the Moroccan public a prestigious matchup. On Friday, January 9, the Moulay Abdellah sports complex will be the scene of a true clash of titans between the host country and Cameroon. A "final before the final" that promises to be electric.
