Morocco wrapped up their TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaign in emphatic style with a 7-0 win over Lesotho, while Gabon edged the Central African Republic (CAR) 1-0 to solidify their second-place finish in Group B.
With both Morocco and Gabon already confirmed for next year’s tournament, the final matchday offered a chance to conclude the group phase with a flourish.
Morocco Cruise to Flawless Campaign
Playing in front of a lively home crowd at the Stade d'Honneur d'Oujda, Morocco extended their perfect record in Group B to six wins from six matches after a first-half, hat-trick by Ibrahim Díaz.
The hosts overwhelmed Lesotho with a first-half blitz that saw them net five goals, including a hat-trick from Díaz. Soufiane Rahimi added to the tally, converting a penalty just before halftime.
The second half saw the Atlas Lions maintain their intensity, with Youssef En-Nesyri and Ismael Saibari scoring to complete the rout.
Morocco ended the campaign with an incredible +24 goal difference, underlining their dominance.
Having conceded just two goals in the entire campaign, Morocco is among the tournament favourites as hosts of AFCON 2025.
