Moroccan coach Walid Regragui in support of Achraf Hakimi, unfortunate hero of the Moroccan elimination. The Atlas Lions collapsed on Tuesday evening against South Africa (2-0).

Morocco, which was aiming for the semi-finals, therefore stops immediately. “The penalty happens, it’s football. Achraf would perhaps have allowed us to get back into the match but afterwards, at the end, the way we gave up, it didn't reflect our team. We made mistakes that are unlike us. We can't afford to miss so many situations. I failed so I have to accept it. »
