In the latest Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Qualifiers, Brahim Díaz delivered a dramatic 93rd-minute goal to secure a 1-0 victory for Morocco against Lesotho. This crucial strike came after a challenging match where Lesotho, despite being the underdog, held Morocco for the majority of the game.
Díaz, who had been introduced in the second half, capitalized on a well-placed chest pass from Youssef En-Nesyri after a cross from Hakim Ziyech. The Real Madrid midfielder skillfully maneuvered past two defenders before slotting the ball into the corner of the net, sealing Morocco’s second consecutive win in the qualifiers.
This victory solidifies Morocco's dominant position at the top of Group B, as they prepare to host the 2025 AFCON
