The Algerian U18 team, which won 1-0 against Spain three days ago, fell to their Moroccan counterpart 2-0 after finishing the match at 10.
Mourad Slatni renewed the same starting lineup for his team’s second match and despite some Moroccan breakthroughs, the Algerian midfielder. held the ball well with an excellent Mehdi Puch at the origin of the most beautiful action which ended on a return from Benmazouz.

In the second half the Algerians will be surprised on a set piece in the 58th minute, Boukhras is forgotten by the defense and deceives the excellent goalkeeper Boualam with a diving header.
While we thought that ours were going to react, the left-back Hanfoug collects a second yellow card while protesting against the systematic anti-play of the adversaries who each time prevent the Algerians from taking free kicks quickly. In the aftermath the defense will make a second fatal error by forgetting another attacker in the 18 meters.
Hanfoug and the Morocco player both got yellow cards after the Morocco player pulled the jersey of Hanfoug and then stood in front of the ball and didn’t let him play the free kick quickly .. ???? https://t.co/tQHVCWLihm pic.twitter.com/CCLEWhbEVh

The Algerian coach decides to launch all his attackers and the Algerians will try everything but a game that is sometimes a little too individual, a pitch in poor condition and some refereeing oversights have meant that the greens have not managed to reverse the situation. The Moroccan team, quite formidable in the counterattack, got several chances without managing to score the third, even if they had a goal disallowed for offside.
The Algerian team, which has a technical gem in the person of Omar Rafik, will have to do better against France, which beat Morocco in the first match, to hope to qualify for the semi-finals. France and Spain are playing tonight.
