Morocco dominated Zambia in their Group A clash at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, securing a comfortable 3-0 victory. Ayoub El Kaabi starred with a brace, including a stunning bicycle kick, while Brahim Diaz also scored.
The win ensures Morocco tops the group with five points, advancing to the round of 16. Zambia, despite brave efforts, exit the tournament without a win after two draws and a loss, struggling against the high-pressing Atlas Lions.
Morocco’s overwhelming possession (73% at halftime) and relentless attacking play made it a one-sided affair, with Zambia rarely threatening the hosts’ goal.
