The African country Morocco showed the biggest surprise in Qatar World Cup. Ashraf Hakimi-Hakim Ziash's country played the semi-final by surprising everyone. That is why they were the favorites in this year's African Nations Cup. But Morocco could not. They were eliminated from the last sixteen after losing 2-0 against South Africa.
The biggest responsibility for Morocco's exit in the match is their captain Ashraf Hakimir. In the 84th minute of the match, this defender failed to score a penalty. Morocco could have returned to equality if they scored the goal. It might have changed the situation of the match.
With this, all the favorite teams left the Nations Cup. Last year's two finalists, Senegal and Egypt, have already left. Cameroon has also walked the same path. With these three teams out, Morocco's path seemed a bit easier. But they lost that chance.
In the first half of the match, both teams started to fight evenly. Neither team scored in the first half. However, in the second half, South Africa changed all calculations. Evidence Makgopa led the team with a goal in the 57th minute immediately after the break. Teboho Mokoena put the final nail in Morocco's coffin after five minutes of added time.
South Africa got Cape Verde in the quarter-finals with this win. Meanwhile, Mali beat Burkina Faso 2-1 in the other match of the same night. They will play against Ivory Coast in the last eight on Saturday.
