They will be entitled to their final at home. At the end of a thrilling match, Morocco qualified for the final of its 2025 African Cup of Nations. The Atlas Lions defeated Nigeria in a disputed penalty shootout, where they thought they saw their world collapse after a miss from Hamza Igamane. Before their hero of the evening, Yassine Bounou, made two attempts by the Super Eagles to give his team victory.
Enough to explode the entire audience at the Prince Moulay Abdallah stadium in Rabat, which continued to grow in excitement during the match. Author of the victorious penalty, Youssef En-Nesyri then threw himself into the arms of his goalkeeper, before being joined by the rest of the squad and staff and a lap of honor taking place.
22 years after their last African Cup of Nations final, lost against Tunisia in 2004 (2-1), the Atlas Lions will have one last match to play, Sunday at 8 p.m. in Rabat. They will face Senegal, who dismissed Egypt earlier in the evening thanks to a goal from Sadio Mané at the end of the match (1-0).
