After disputed groups, it’s time for the direct elimination phase during this second edition of the Arab Cup, played in Qatar (until December 18). Morocco, deprived of Achraf Hakimi but still among the favorites for the final victory, faces Syria on Thursday at the Khalifa international stadium, for the first quarter-final in the competition.
Coming out undefeated (2 wins, 1 draw) and first in their group B, the Atlas Lions seem destined for victory against inferior Syrians, but who still had the merit of beating Tunisia in group A. The winner of this quarter could potentially join Algeria for a nice shock in the last four.
The Morocco-Syria match is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m. French time this Thursday, December 11. The meeting will be followed live on television on beIN Sports MAX 4.
