00:00And it is a 4-1 victory for Morocco.
00:07We'll see if Gebel can turn it around at home.
00:09You know they will look forward to that.
00:12Both teams already qualified for the next stage of the 2025
00:16Total Energy's Africa Cup of Nations.
00:19But a victory would matter greatly for both of them.
00:24Morocco, in their white kit, will
00:26be going from right to left.
00:29Gabon, the Panthère, in their yellow and blue,
00:32will be tacking from left to right.
00:34First long ball in, it finds Abdelzazouli.
00:38He's on the left wing, very comfortable
00:39in these positions.
00:41He doesn't look to play it back, and Anthony Oyonnax
00:44defends it well.
00:46Gebel already under a little bit of pressure
00:47here on a kit that doesn't seem to be in the best condition.
00:54Earned his first cap for country under Mouyouma.
00:57That's a great long ball to Anthony Oyonnax.
01:00He finds Guylain Canga, the experienced midfielder.
01:04Denis Boingas inside the box, he's taking touches.
01:06What can he do with it?
01:07He shoots it, and it goes in!
01:08Denis Boingas opens the scoring to the delight
01:13of the Stade de France Ville.
01:14And look at what it means to him.
01:16The LAFC striker, 30 years old, but celebrating
01:21as if it was one of his first goals ever.
01:23And that's his 10th for country.
01:25And he beats the goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou,
01:28with a beautiful strike from the left-hand side of the box.
01:32Denis Boingas, shocking what they
01:35wanted to see, an early goal, putting them forward.
01:37Not exactly their usual, but the speed of Denis Boingas
01:41was too much.
01:42Of course, he used the overlapping run
01:44by his fullback, Jaco Ecomier.
01:46He was on a two versus one situation
01:48versus Ashraf Hakimi.
01:50And with the inside of his right foot, he curls it,
01:52just beating the goalkeeper, Bounou,
01:55who dives for it but cannot get enough or get anything to it.
02:02Does a somersault to sell it.
02:04At one point.
02:08And that's a good ball, and that's a goal!
02:10Jamel Arcas!
02:11Ashraf Hakimi delivering a wonderful cross,
02:14and that's the equalizer.
02:16Jamel Arcas on his third match ever for Morocco.
02:20Equalizes for the Lyon de l'Atlas.
02:24A free kick provoked by Elias Benseguir,
02:26taken by Ashraf Hakimi, which was a little bit unusual,
02:29given how all those set pieces were taken by Elias Benseguir,
02:33was the secret sauce.
02:34And Jamel Arcas found himself in space at the back post
02:38and knew exactly what to do with it,
02:40send him back across the goal.
02:42And Louis Mbaba, from point-blank range,
02:45could not do anything about it.
02:47The ball from Ashraf Hakimi was an absolute peach
02:50in such a dangerous area.
02:52Just at the foul on it, it was Benseguir that led to the goal,
02:54and Benseguir taking the corner again.
02:57Oh, it does cause problems, and Brahim Diaz sneaks behind
03:00and puts the ball in the back of the net!
03:01He pokes it!
03:02It looks like it was in between the legs!
03:04And look at that, what it means to him.
03:06Brahim Diaz, who was in the stands for match day three
03:09against Central African Republic, now on the pitch
03:12and puts his side 2-1.
03:15The 25-year-old from Real Madrid comes from Spain
03:18to Gebel with purpose.
03:25He's not having the easiest season at Real Madrid,
03:28struggling for game time as his club has recruited
03:32new offensive elements.
03:36But the mental strength of Brahim Diaz
03:38and the speed, of course.
03:40He was forgotten at the back post, makes the most of it,
03:43and just toe-pokes the ball into the back of the net.
03:48Many shots that they had, but none were converted.
03:54And Benseguir almost finds another goal, and he does!
03:56Benseguir from the corner!
03:58It's all chaos in Brahim Diaz.
04:01Perhaps maybe one of the smaller players on the pitch,
04:03with 1.70m, scores two goals off a corner.
04:08What scenes at France Ville.
04:12Gebel not able to contain Lillon de l'Atlas
04:15from the set piece, the second post.
04:17And it is Benseguir who delivers a ball
04:20that was initially delivered to the first post,
04:22deflected by Abdel Zazouli.
04:24And it looks like there might have been a ping-pong
04:30over Alex Muketu to maybe Hakimi.
04:32But at the end, it doesn't really matter
04:34because Brahim Diaz is at the conclusion of the play.
04:38And these corners...
04:39The Laval-born striker now playing his club football
04:41in Saudi Arabia for Al-Qaeda.
04:44Obviously, first half of football,
04:45it is 3-1 after 45 minutes of play.
04:48Nearly, Obegabon, give him a little chance with the Morocco.
04:52You seem to still roll them in,
04:55a little less than six minutes with three goals.
04:59It is 3-1 after 45 minutes of football.
05:02We're going to take a short break.
05:03We're going to come back with the highlights
05:05of this 4-goals, 3-1, Morocco at the 4th.
05:14And we're underway for the second half.
05:17The Lyon de l'Atlas in their white kits
05:19now attacking from left to right.
05:23Gabon going from right to left.
05:26First half was...
05:27The story of the first half really had to be the set pieces
05:29where Morocco found a lot of success
05:31off the free kick and the corners.
05:36Causing havoc in the box for Gabon.
05:40Not to be underestimated.
05:42Not to be underestimated for 20.5 million euros
05:45from Kersi Gent, tricky midfielder.
05:47And that's exactly what we'd like to see.
05:49Ismail Saibari, good cross in.
05:51And that's a ball into Youssef En-Nesyri.
05:53And that's the fourth goal of the night.
05:54Youssef En-Nesyri gets his 21st for Morocco.
05:58And just when Walid Rekhragi made substitutions
06:01like the introduction of Ismail Saibari and Bilal Elhanous,
06:04that's the moment that Morocco gets their fourth.
06:08En-Nesyri, who's re-found his form for Fenerbahce,
06:13confirms it with Morocco.
06:15The player who came was one of the best players for FC Sevilla.
06:19Now in Fenerbahce, he is a goal-scoring machine.
06:24And look at the positioning.
06:25He is not offside.
06:26He goes behind the back of Uri Michel Mboula
06:30and Ismail Saibari, who's had a habit of making an impact
06:34off the bench for his club, PSG Eindhoven.
06:37The 23-year-old midfielder delivers an absolute beautiful ball.
06:41Of course, Youssef En-Nesyri, we're used to seeing score from the head.
06:44But this time it's a low cross.
06:46Putting the ball in between his legs on his first two touches.
06:50And Ismail Saibari as well.
06:51Look at the technique on this gentleman.
06:52And what a goal it is by Ismail Saibari.
06:56Wow.
06:57It all started with that Amaznou.
06:59And then Ismail Saibari with his trademark washing of the hair celebration.
07:02He scored one of those goals against Girona in the Champions League.
07:06It was cancelled.
07:07And he celebrated in the same fashion.
07:09But this time, there's no cancelling or denying this goal.
07:12Ismail Saibari is a special talent.
07:15And on his eighth appearance, gets his first goal.
07:17And Walid Regraghi can celebrate as well
07:20because his substitutions have truly paid off.
07:23Ismail Saibari with one assist and one goal.
07:25And look how fast from Adem Aznou, the fullback or winger.
07:29And look at the double contact to get rid of Jeff Nguede.
07:33Completely eliminates him.
07:35Completely eliminates Anthony Oyono.
07:36And then Loïs Mbaba was no opponent for Ismail Saibari.
07:41And this player is really one to look out for,
07:45whether it's in the Rédévisé or even the Champions League
07:47or in the Africa Cup of Nations.
07:49And the fact that he did not start this match
07:51just shows the depth of talent that Morocco have.
07:55The impact that Ismail Saibari can make.
07:58The washing of the hair celebration.
08:00Joined by everyone.
08:06That is our game.
08:07It is 5-1, 5-1.
08:09The win by Morocco.
08:11Good game.
08:12Come on, put a good effort, Ben.
08:14They will be in the tournament.
08:16One more game left for both teams
08:19to say goodbye to the qualifiers.
08:21But today, today was Morocco's day with a 5-1.
08:24Thank you for joining us here today.
08:26Morocco wins in five to one.
