Tears on Opening Night: Morocco's AFCON 2025 Opener Drowns in Emotion and Drama
Morocco began AFCON 2025 with a tough setback against Comoros, highlighted by captain Romain Saiss's muscle injury and emotional exit. Jawad El Yamiq was sent on early to shore up the defense as the match unfolded. Morocco earned a late first-half penalty through Ibrahim Diaz, but missed opportunities and a late surge kept the drama alive. The crowd remained buoyant as the tournament kickoff showcased passion, resilience, and a quest for the title Morocco last lifted in 1976.
