Hosts grind it out, Morocco nicked a 1-0 thriller over stubborn Tanzania in Rabat, Brahim Diaz’s 63rd-min rocket from a crazy angle blasting the Atlas Lions into quarters.
Hakimi’s crew owned possession early but Tanzania’s deep block frustrated Saibari’s 24th-min strike? VAR offside killjoy. Halftime fire-up worked: Diaz and El Khannouss rampaged, Toto blazed over a sitter at 56′ for Taifa Stars.
Enter Diaz—fourth tourney goal, golden boot lead—tight flank cutter, net ripper, Rabat erupts. Lions pushed for more but held firm; Tanzania scrapped, no reward.
Next: SA or Cameroon winners, back in Rabat. Title hunt alive.
