As he mimed in celebration, Achraf Hakimi “finished” Egypt by scoring the 6th goal in Morocco’s victory, which earned it a bronze medal in the Olympic football tournament, on Thursday in Nantes.
Achraf Hakimi is finally on vacation! While PSG played its first preparation match on Wednesday, against Sturm Graz, before a second and final friendly match on Saturday against Leipzig, the Moroccan right-back of the Rouge et Bleu concluded his Paris 2024 Olympic Games by winning a bronze medal! The Atlas Lions, overthrown by Spain in the semi-finals, crushed Egypt in the third-place play-off, winning 6-0 at La Beaujoire.
Hakimi just concluded this magnificent offensive festival with an improbable free kick from a distance that ended up in the skylight of the Egyptian goalkeeper (87th). Finished, as Kylian Mbappé’s great friend mimed in celebration. Called up among the three players over 23, the Madrid native was an incredible captain, even scoring against the United States in the quarter-finals.
Hakimi concludes a festival
Before that, the Moroccans led by Tarik Sektioui (and Youssouf Hadji as assistant) had made the nets tremble, to the great delight of their supporters who copiously filled the stands of the Nantes stadium. Soufiane Rahimi, the team’s scorer, who plays in the Emirates, scored twice as a center forward (26th and 64th), to finish at the top of the scorers’ charts with eight goals. He imitated Carlos Tévez, also author of 8 goals in 2004 in Greece. He even served Akram Nakach for the 4th goal (73rd).
Abde Ezzalzouli (23rd) and Bilal El Khannouss (51st) scored the other two Moroccan goals in fine style. With such talent, from the country, Spain and France (Ligue 1 players Yassine Kechta, Oussama Targhalline, Amir Richardson and Eliesse Ben Seghir all took part in the match), Morocco, semi-finalist of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, can see for the next major competitions.
