The four teams put on a superb show!
To believe that the Panthers of Gabon are better without their star, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who had to leave Yaoundé without playing, his CAN ruined by the Covid.
In the best game since the start of the CAN, strewn with scoring opportunities, Patrice Neveu's players led twice thanks to their attacking duo, Jim Allevinah (21st) and Aaron Boupendza, who provoked an own goal from Nayef Aguerd (81st).
Ayew excluded
Already qualified, “Coach Vahid” rotated and established goalkeeper number 2, Monir El Kajoui, in place of Yassine Bounou.
Other holders have started on the bench, such as Ghanem Saïss, Imran Louza, Selim Amallah and Sofiane Boufal.
Morocco conceded their first goal of the competition on a slip, when Soufiane Chakla lost her support, finding herself flat on her stomach and offering a boulevard to Allevinah (21st).
But Halihodzic's players came back twice: first on a penalty from Boufal (73rd sp) and finally on a magnificent free kick from Parisian Achraf Hakimi (84th), three minutes after Aguerd's csc.
On the other hand, it's all over for Ghana, dead last, who lost their captain André Ayew, excluded after 25 minutes for a sole on goalkeeper Salim Ben Boina (25th), who came out injured.
The Comoros even led 2-0.
The star Ben El Fardou scored the first goal in the history of his country at the CAN, after a backlash (4th), but the hero will remain Ahmed Mogni, author of the 2-0 (62nd) and especially the goal of 3-2 (85th).
The "Coelacanthes", 132nd in the Fifa rankings, were still very scared, because Richmond Boakye immediately reduced the gap (2-1, 64th), then Alexander Djiku equalized (2-2, 77th).
The atmosphere was very warm in the corridor after the match, very close to the press room of the Ahidjo stadium in Yaoundé, where loud voices rang out for a long time.
But the show on the lawn was superb.
