Morocco retained the African Nations champion title for local soccer players by beating Mali 2-0 in the final Sunday in Yaoundé in front of about 10,000 spectators, who were allowed to continue the match.

The confrontation was between Morocco, the one with the strongest attack, with 13 goals, and Mali, the one with the strongest defense (3 goals conceded).

And after the Malian team held out for nearly an hour in front of their opponent, they conceded the first goal with a wonderful header by Sofiane Al-Boufateeni, after a perfect pass from Omar Al-Austrian (69).

Morocco captain Ayoub Al Kaabi added the second goal 10 minutes after the first with a header also from a corner kick.

Mali missed the most dangerous opportunity when Moussa Balou was alone with Moroccan goalkeeper Anas Zaniti, who deftly deflected his attempt (64).

The referee expelled Mali national team player Isaka Samaki in the last seconds for stepping on the ankle of a Moroccan player.

Morocco was crowned champion at home in 2018, while Mali suffered its second loss in the final after the 2016 edition.

Zaniti was chosen as the best goalkeeper in the tournament, while his colleague Sofiane Rahimi won the titles of best player and best scorer with 5 goals.
