In a decidedly difficult CAN for the favorites, Morocco had to settle for a draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo (1-1).
First brake for Morocco. After a successful start against Tanzania (3-0), the semi-finalists of the last World Cup were held by the Democratic Republic of Congo (1-1), this Sunday, during the 2nd day of the World Cup. Africa of Nations.
The Atlas Lions had, however, started the game ideally, with a first huge opportunity for Youssef En-Nesyri, on a perfect cross from Achraf Hakimi (2nd), and a goal straight from the Parisian side, from a corner ( 1-0, 6th). But the rest was more complicated, even if Cédric Bakambu missed the consecutive penalty at the hand of Selim Amallah (42nd).
Morocco joins in the score
At the start of the second half, Morocco seemed to have control of the game, but the break goal did not come, despite this new good cross from Hakimi that Sofiane Boufal was unable to exploit (52nd). And it was a player who entered the game who revived the DRC: Silas Katompa Mvumpa, formerly of Paris FC, tied the two teams (1-1, 76th).
Morocco was unable to react, and must therefore settle for a draw, which nevertheless allows it to keep the lead in its group. In this CAN where the favorites are shaken, only Senegal and the surprising Cape Verde have taken six points in two matches, perhaps waiting for Namibia in the event of success against South Africa.
