Morocco lost 2-0 to South Africa in the African Cup of Nations on Tuesday. Captain Romain Saïss attacked the referee of the round of 16 match.

The Atlas Lions also missed a penalty in the final minutes of the match. This could cost coach Walid Regragui, in office since 2022, his job. The match could have turned out differently if the referee had not refused Noussair Mazraoui's goal for an offside position by Abde Ezzalzouli.
