At home, Morocco offered themselves the CAN U23 this Saturday once morest Egypt (2-1). The Pharaohs struck first, on the counter, thanks to a brilliant inspiration from Mahmoud Saber, who unleashed a splendid strike from 30 meters (0-1, 10e). The Pyramids FC player, however, was immediately sent off for a clumsy sole above the ankle of captain Ez Abde (17th). In a choppy first period (19 fouls) and tense, like the start of the scuffle which followed the rough intervention of Mohamed Shehata (34th), the Atlas Cubs recovered on their only shot on target. On receiving a perfect cross from Bilal El Khannouss, Yanis Begraoui equalized from close range with his left foot (1-1, 37e). The first goal conceded by Egypt in the tournament.
Despite their numerical superiority and 70% possession, the Moroccans struggled to worry the opposing goalkeeper. Ismael Saibari might have delivered his own, but missed his recovery at the far post (45th + 4), crossed his shot too much (71st), then missed the ball on a caviar from El Khannouss (84th). Twirling on his wing, Ez Abde offered another coronation ball to Amine El Ouazzani, who came up once morest Hamza Alaa (90th + 1). The Barça player then surprised the defense with a free kick by feigning the strike to shift Oussama Targhalline, whose powerful shot deceived the goalkeeper, author of a hand fault (2-1, 105e+3). The goal of deliverance for the Moulay-Abdallah stadium. Despite the 120 minutes of the semi-final in the legs, the Moroccans held on until the end and succeeded in the prize list to… Egypt.
