At the feet of UAE League players.. Morocco defeats the Comoros in the Arab Cup

The Moroccan team achieved a valuable victory over the Comoros Islands with a score of 3-1 in the opening of the second group matches of the Arab Cup Championship, in a strong and exciting confrontation, and witnessed a remarkable surprise represented by the fact that the three Moroccan goals came at the feet of players currently playing in the ADNOC Professional League, so that the “Atlas Lions” recorded their first victory with a clear Emirati imprint.

Morocco’s goals were scored by Sofiane Bouftini, the Al-Wasl player, Tariq Tisoudali, the Khor Fakkan player, and Karim Al-Barkawi, the Al-Dhafra striker, all in the first half, as the Moroccan team showed great effectiveness in counter-attacks, benefiting from the speed of its players and their ability to move behind the Comoros defenses. Despite this, the Moroccan team missed a number of opportunities that could have increased their scoring output.

In the second half, the Comoros national team regained the initiative and was able to reduce the difference with a well-deserved goal, after a strong team performance and a clear desire to return to the match. The Comorian team played a historic match in its first appearance in the Arab Cup, as it had the most possession of the ball and had the offensive initiative in several periods, which made the match enjoyable and open between the two sides until the last minutes.

The Moroccan team showed a great deal of realism, relying on defensive organization and quick rebounds, while the Comoros’ performance was characterized by courage and high pressure, which made the match one of the best matches of the first round in the tournament. In addition to Morocco and Comoros, the second group includes Saudi Arabia and Oman, which paves the way for a strong struggle for the two qualification tickets during the next two rounds.

With this victory, the Moroccan team sends a clear message that it enters the tournament with great ambitions, while the Comoros team came out with an honorable performance that heralds its ability to create surprises in the upcoming matches.
