Morocco’s convincing victory over Tanzania in the opening group game of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations was highlighted by a spectacular goal from Marseille’s Azzedine Ounahi.
As semi-finalists at the 2022 World Cup, Morocco entered the tournament as strong favorites and comfortably defeated Tanzania. The match saw Tanzania struggle, especially after Novatus Miroshi was sent off in the second half.
The commanding performance by Morocco, who emerged as 3-0 winners, demonstrated their prowess and confidence in the tournament. The game began quietly but intensified after the first water break, with a powerful Hakim Ziyech free kick leading to Romain Saiss scoring.
Following the Tanzanian team’s reduced numbers due to the dismissal of Novatus Miroshi, Morocco continued to dominate.
Ziyech’s superb performance and late goals from Azzedine Ounahi and Youssef En-Nesyri further solidified Morocco’s impressive display, catching the attention of their rivals in the competition. In contrast, Tanzania faces the challenging task of regrouping after this defeat.
