Hosts Morocco grinded out a 1-0 nail-biter over stubborn Tanzania in Rabat, sneaking into AFCON 2025 quarters—Brahim Diaz’s sly second-half strike sealed it after a possession fest turned frustrating.
Atlas Lions bossed the ball early under Hakimi, but Tanzania parked the bus tight. Saibari’s 24th-min screamer? VAR offside buzzkill. Post-break urgency ramped up—Diaz and El Khannouss poked holes, Tanzania’s Toto fluffed a shocker over the bar at 56′.
Boom—63rd min, Diaz slices in from the wing, buries it tight-angle style. His 4th of the tourney tops the charts, home crowd erupts. Morocco pushed but couldn’t double up; Taifa Stars fought, no dice.
Next: Winner of South Africa vs Cameroon, right back in Rabat. Lions roaring on.
