Morocco's victory came despite the many absences that the team suffers from, due to the infection of a number of basic elements with the Corona virus.

The "Atlas Lions" won 3 points from their confrontation against the most difficult teams in the group, and they boosted the hopes of their fans in the competition for the second title for Morocco in the history of the competition.

The second match in the group will be held later today, and will bring together Comoros and Gabon.
